Are there any interactions between lipitor and vitamin c?



Based on the sources provided, there is limited information regarding the potential interactions between Lipitor (atorvastatin) and vitamin C.

The first source, DrugPatentWatch, provides information about Lipitor but does not specifically mention any interactions with vitamin C [1].

The second source, Drugs.com, provides a drug interaction checker that indicates there are no known interactions between atorvastatin (the active ingredient in Lipitor) and vitamin C [2].

The third source, a study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, discusses the potential benefits of vitamin C supplementation in patients taking atorvastatin.
