Based on the information available, there are no significant negative interactions between Lipitor (atorvastatin) and ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitors) [1]. Both Lipitor and ACE inhibitors are commonly prescribed medications for different health conditions. Lipitor is a statin, a type of drug used to lower cholesterol levels, while ACE inhibitors are used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure, among other conditions [2][3].
However, as with any medication, there is a possibility of interactions with other drugs, including over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements [1]. Therefore, it is always important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking [1].
It is also worth noting that while there may not be significant negative interactions between Lipitor and ACE inhibitors, both medications can have side effects [2][3]. Common side effects of Lipitor include diarrhea, upset stomach, and muscle or joint pain [2]. ACE inhibitors can cause cough, dizziness, and headache, among other side effects [3].
In conclusion, while there are no significant negative interactions between Lipitor and ACE inhibitors, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting or changing any medication regimen.
