Can exercise offset lipitor s impact on flexibility?



Lipitor is a medication that is used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. One of the potential side effects of Lipitor is a decrease in flexibility [1]. However, exercise has been shown to have a positive impact on flexibility [2]. Therefore, it is possible that exercise could help offset the impact of Lipitor on flexibility.

According to a study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science, regular exercise can help improve flexibility in older adults [2]. The study found that a 12-week exercise program improved flexibility in participants aged 65 to 85 years old. The exercise program consisted of a combination of stretching, resistance training, and aerobic exercise.

While there is no specific research on the impact of exercise on Lipitor's effect on flexibility, it is reasonable to assume that exercise could help offset the negative impact of Lipitor on flexibility. However, it is important to note that the best course of action would be to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any exercise program, especially if you are taking medication such as Lipitor [3].

In conclusion, while there is no specific research on the impact of exercise on Lipitor's effect on flexibility, exercise has been shown to have a positive impact on flexibility. Therefore, it is possible that exercise could help offset the impact of Lipitor on flexibility. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any exercise program while taking medication such as Lipitor.
