How does lipitor affect ibuprofen absorption?



Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. The sources provided do not mention any direct interaction between Lipitor and ibuprofen. However, it is important to note that ibuprofen can interact with other medications, including those that affect blood clotting and increase the risk of bleeding [3].

Ginkgo biloba, an herbal supplement, can also interact with ibuprofen. According to the Mayo Clinic, taking ginkgo biloba and ibuprofen together may increase the risk of bleeding [3].

It is always important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking any new medications or supplements, including ibuprofen and Lipitor, to ensure safe and effective use.
