Side Effects:

While Lipirex 20mg is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects. Common side effects include muscle pain, weakness, and digestive issues. Serious side effects are rare but may include liver problems or an allergic reaction. If you experience any unusual or severe symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.

When Not to Use:

1. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Lipirex 20mg should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as the safety of Atorvastatin in these situations is not established.

3. Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Atorvastatin or any other components of the medication.
