Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body. Ace inhibitors are a class of drugs used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. There is limited information on how combining Lipitor and ace inhibitors affects cholesterol levels.

A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology [3] evaluated the effect of the combination of Lipitor and an ace inhibitor (ramipril) on cholesterol levels. The study found that the combination of Lipitor and ramipril resulted in a greater reduction in LDL cholesterol levels compared to Lipitor alone. The study also found that the combination therapy had a beneficial effect on other markers of cardiovascular disease, such as blood pressure and inflammation.

Another study published in the American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs [2] evaluated the effect of the combination of Lipitor and an ace inhibitor (lisinopril) on cholesterol levels. The study found that the combination therapy did not result in a significant additional reduction in LDL cholesterol levels compared to Lipitor alone. However, the combination therapy did have a beneficial effect on other markers of cardiovascular disease, such as blood pressure and arterial stiffness.

In summary, limited research suggests that combining Lipitor and ace inhibitors may have a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels and other markers of cardiovascular disease. However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of this combination therapy.
