Any side effects from combining lipitor and red wine?



Lipitor is a medication that is used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. Drinking red wine while taking Lipitor may increase the risk of side effects. Both Lipitor and red wine can cause liver damage, and combining the two may increase the risk of liver damage [2]. Moreover, drinking alcohol while taking Lipitor may also increase the risk of muscle damage, which can lead to muscle pain and weakness [3]. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid drinking alcohol, including red wine, while taking Lipitor to reduce the risk of side effects. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before making any changes to medication or alcohol consumption [2].
