Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body, and it is known to have several side effects. Muscle pain is one of the most common side effects of taking Lipitor [2]. Alcohol, on the other hand, is not known to increase muscle pain when taken with Lipitor [3]. However, it is important to note that alcohol can increase the risk of liver damage when taken with Lipitor [3].
According to Drug Patent Watch [1], there are no known interactions between alcohol and Lipitor. However, it is recommended that people who take Lipitor limit their alcohol intake to reduce the risk of liver damage. The Mayo Clinic [2] also advises people who take Lipitor to limit their alcohol intake and to talk to their doctor about any concerns they may have.
In conclusion, while alcohol is not known to increase muscle pain when taken with Lipitor, it is important to limit alcohol intake to reduce the risk of liver damage. People who take Lipitor should talk to their doctor about any concerns they may have regarding the medication and their alcohol intake [2][3].
