Lipitor & Breast Pain: Any Relation?
[posted 7/30/98] Question: My doctor prescribed Lipitor to reduce my cholesterol and I have been taking it for about 2.5 months. It has caused a pain in my upper left breast area ever since I started it. My doctor checked my liver enzymes and they were fine. However, the pain has progressed to the point I can no longer take the drug. I also have a lot of gastric and digestive symptoms. I was curious if others had experienced these symptoms on lipitor? Answer: Very unusual – if it is affecting your breasts why not both? Stop it for a trial. Off hand I don’t have any great ideas.
