There is no definitive evidence to suggest that fatty food consumption reduces Lipitor's effectiveness [1]. Lipitor, a statin, works by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol [2]. The effectiveness of Lipitor is more closely related to factors such as the dosage, the individual's metabolism, and compliance with the medication regimen [3][4]. However, it is generally recommended to maintain a heart-healthy diet, which includes limiting the intake of saturated and trans fats, for overall cardiovascular health [5].

Follow-up: How does fatty food impact Lipitor's efficacy? Does Lipitor's effectiveness decrease with high-fat meals? Should Lipitor be taken with low-fat food instead?
