Lipitor is a brand name for the drug atorvastatin, which is used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Fish oil supplements are often taken to improve heart health. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, taking fish oil supplements with atorvastatin may help to further reduce triglyceride levels in the blood. However, it is important to note that taking fish oil supplements alone may not be enough to lower cholesterol levels, and they should not be used as a replacement for prescription medications like atorvastatin.

There is some evidence to suggest that taking statin drugs like atorvastatin may reduce the levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood, which are found in fish oil supplements. However, this does not necessarily mean that taking fish oil supplements is ineffective when taking statins. In fact, according to ConsumerLab, some studies have shown that taking fish oil supplements with statins may actually enhance the benefits of the medication.

In summary, it appears that taking fish oil supplements with atorvastatin may be beneficial for heart health, but they should not be used as a replacement for prescription medications. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if taking prescription medications like atorvastatin.
