Are there any potential benefits to taking lipitor with low sodium supplements?



Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. It is not typically recommended to take supplements with Lipitor unless prescribed by a doctor. Lisinopril is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure [2]. It is not a low sodium supplement.

Taking supplements with Lipitor can be risky, as some supplements can interact with the medication and increase the risk of side effects. For example, taking supplements containing St. John's Wort can decrease the effectiveness of Lipitor [3]. Additionally, some supplements can increase the risk of liver damage when taken with Lipitor [3].

It is important to talk to a doctor before taking any supplements with Lipitor, as they can advise on potential risks and benefits. If a low sodium supplement is needed, there are specific supplements available that are formulated for this purpose and may be safer to take with Lipitor [3].

In summary, there is no evidence to suggest that taking Lipitor with low sodium supplements provides any additional benefits. It is important to talk to a doctor before taking any supplements with Lipitor, as some supplements can interact with the medication and increase the risk of side effects [3].
