💊 Taking Atorvastatin? 15 Possible Side Effects to Know About

The word “subtle” can be misleading. Atorvastatin is generally well tolerated, and it has an important benefit: lowering LDL cholesterol and reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. (nhs.uk)

Possible effects include:

  1. Headache
  2. Dizziness
  3. Nausea
  4. Indigestion
  5. Constipation
  6. Diarrhea
  7. Gas or bloating
  8. Muscle aches
  9. Joint discomfort or swelling
  10. Fatigue or weakness
  11. Sleep problems
  12. Runny or blocked nose
  13. Nosebleeds
  14. Memory problems — reported with statins, but evidence that statins actually cause most such symptoms is limited.
  15. Changes in liver tests — usually mild, but significant liver injury is rare. (nhs.uk)
