Brief Answer:
Single extra tablet will not cause harm as such.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would like to inform you that high dose of Atoravastin, present in Lipitor, can cause disturbed sugar control. But taking single extra tablet will not cause much harm. But I would advise that if you feel any abnormal symptoms, consult Emergency Room immediately.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any furthur query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
