Based on the information available, there is no explicit recommendation for Lipitor users to limit their red wine intake. However, it is generally advised that individuals taking medication, including Lipitor (atorvastatin), consult with their healthcare provider regarding alcohol consumption [1].

Lipitor is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease [1]. Excessive alcohol consumption can increase triglyceride levels and may interact with Lipitor, potentially leading to adverse effects [1][2]. Moderate alcohol consumption, as defined by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, is up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men [3].

It is essential to maintain open communication with healthcare professionals regarding lifestyle choices, such as alcohol consumption, while taking prescription medications like Lipitor [1].
