Is Atorvastatin A Diuretic

Updated

My mother is taking Atorvastatin but she keeps going to the bathroom a lot. So, we were wondering if this is a water pill?

No, this is a statin medication that is used to help lower cholesterol. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle ache.

However, frequent urination is a possible side effect of most medications, one can never know how any given medication will affect anyone that takes it. How often is she going? Is she on any other medications?

Actually there are many reports that it will make your urine patterns irregular.
