Lipitor is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], there is no information available on specific sports to avoid while taking Lipitor. However, it is important to note that statins, including Lipitor, have been linked to an increased risk of muscle pain and weakness [3]. This can make certain physical activities more challenging and potentially increase the risk of injury. In addition, there have been concerns raised about the potential link between statin use and an increased risk of dementia [2]. While the evidence is not yet conclusive, it may be wise to speak with a healthcare provider before engaging in any high-impact or high-intensity sports while taking Lipitor or any other statin medication.
