Lipitor did you notice any red wine taste shift?



Based on the information provided, it seems like you're asking if Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, has any impact on the taste of red wine. I was unable to find specific information regarding Lipitor and a taste shift in red wine. However, it's important to note that medications can interact with food and beverages, potentially affecting taste, smell, or absorption [1].

Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a type of statin, a class of drugs that work by blocking an enzyme in the liver needed to make cholesterol [2]. Possible side effects of Lipitor include headache, nausea, diarrhea, muscle or joint pain, and changes in some blood tests [3]. A taste shift in red wine is not listed as a known side effect.

It's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist regarding potential interactions between medications and food or beverages [1]. They can provide personalized advice based on an individual's medical history and current medications.
