Any side effects when combining lipitor and red wine?



Lipitor is a brand name for atorvastatin, a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. According to Health Harvard Medical School, moderate alcohol consumption does not interfere with the effectiveness of statins like Lipitor [2]. However, drinking large amounts of alcohol while taking Lipitor may increase the risk of liver damage [2]. The same source recommends limiting alcohol intake to one or two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women [2]. Verywell Health also suggests that moderate alcohol consumption is generally safe for people taking Lipitor [3]. Nevertheless, drinking too much alcohol may lead to negative health consequences and should be avoided [3].

In conclusion, moderate alcohol consumption is generally safe for people taking Lipitor, but excessive drinking may increase the risk of liver damage. It is recommended to limit alcohol intake to one or two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women [2][3].
