What's the ideal time gap between lipitor and yogurt?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

There isn’t a special “ideal” time gap needed between Lipitor (atorvastatin) and yogurt. In general, you can take Lipitor and yogurt at the same time—no meaningful interaction is expected.

That said, a couple practical tips:

  • If yogurt upsets your stomach, separate them by 1–2 hours and see what feels best.
  • If you’re taking Lipitor with food, that’s typically fine; statins don’t require a strict spacing from dairy.

If you tell me why you’re spacing them (e.g., digestion, side effects, specific yogurt type like high-fiber or probiotic), and whether you take any other meds (especially cholestyramine/colestipol), I can give more tailored guidance.
