Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammation. Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. According to the sources provided, taking ibuprofen with Lipitor can increase the risk of side effects and drug interactions.

The drug interaction checker on Drugs.com [2] states that taking ibuprofen with Lipitor may increase the risk of liver damage and kidney problems. This is because both drugs are metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Taking them together can put extra strain on these organs and increase the risk of side effects.

The Everyday Health website [3] also cautions against taking ibuprofen with Lipitor. It states that ibuprofen can interfere with the effectiveness of Lipitor and increase the risk of muscle damage. This is because ibuprofen can reduce the blood flow to the muscles, which can lead to muscle damage when combined with Lipitor.

The Drug Patent Watch website [1] provides information on the patent status of ibuprofen, but does not provide any specific information on the interaction between ibuprofen and Lipitor.

In summary, taking ibuprofen with Lipitor can increase the risk of side effects and drug interactions. It is important to talk to your healthcare provider before taking these medications together, and to follow their recommendations for dosage and timing. If you experience any side effects or unusual symptoms while taking these medications, seek medical attention immediately.
