Is it safe to take lipitor and allergy medication together?



Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a prescription medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Allergy Relief Tablets are over-the-counter medications used to relieve symptoms of allergies.

According to Drugs.com, there is a moderate interaction between Lipitor and Allergy Relief Tablets containing chlorpheniramine, which can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. It is recommended to avoid taking these medications together unless directed by a healthcare professional [2].

WebMD also advises that chlorpheniramine can increase the risk of side effects when taken with Lipitor, and recommends consulting a healthcare professional before taking them together [3].

It is important to note that these interactions may not apply to all types of allergy medications, and it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any new medications or combinations of medications.
