Common Lipitor Side Effects:
The most common Generic Lipitor side effect is myalgia, which tends to present itself as muscle pain and weakness, varying from mild to severe. In its most severe form this can be what is called rhabdomyolysis, a condition where muscle cells are broken down releasing large amounts of degraded proteins into the blood stream. Protein degradation can lead to acute renal injury and failure.
This severe form is very uncommon, even rare, but mild to moderate myalgia is common. Other common Lipitor side effects include arthritis/arthralgias, diarrhea, headache, rashes, elevation of liver transaminases, elevation of creatine kinase (a muscle enzyme), various gastrointestinal symptoms including flatulence, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain, and various infection symptoms.
