Any side effects of taking lipitor with turkey?



Lipitor is a brand name for the generic drug atorvastatin, which is a type of statin used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. According to GoodRx, there are no known interactions between Lipitor and turkey, and it is generally safe to eat turkey while taking this medication [2]. However, it is important to note that statins, including Lipitor, may cause side effects in some individuals.

Common side effects of statins include muscle pain, weakness, and tenderness, as well as headache, nausea, and diarrhea. In rare cases, statins can cause serious side effects such as liver damage, memory loss, and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes [3].

Despite these potential side effects, statins are generally considered safe and effective in reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke in individuals with high cholesterol levels. In fact, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that statin use was associated with a lower risk of heart attack, stroke, and death in individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease [3].

In summary, there are no known interactions between Lipitor and turkey, and it is generally safe to eat turkey while taking this medication. However, as with any medication, Lipitor may cause side effects in some individuals. It is important to talk to your doctor about any concerns you may have about taking this medication [2][3].
