Can lipitor and glucosamine be taken at the same time?



According to the sources provided, there is a possibility of interaction between Lipitor (atorvastatin) and glucosamine, and it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before taking them together.

Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. Glucosamine, on the other hand, is a dietary supplement that is commonly used for joint health [2].

According to Drugs.com [2], there is a moderate interaction between amlodipine-atorvastatin (Lipitor) and glucosamine-chondroitin with MSM. This interaction can increase the risk of side effects such as liver damage, so it is recommended to avoid taking them together.

The NHS [3] also recommends caution when taking atorvastatin with other medicines and herbal supplements, including glucosamine. They advise consulting a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements or medicines.

In summary, there is a possibility of interaction between Lipitor and glucosamine, and it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before taking them together.
