Can lipitor and red wine be safely consumed together?



Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. Drinking red wine while taking Lipitor can have adverse effects on the liver, as both the drug and alcohol are metabolized by the liver [2]. The liver can become overwhelmed and cause damage, leading to liver disease [3]. Therefore, it is not recommended to consume alcohol while taking Lipitor [2][3]. If you are taking Lipitor, it is best to avoid alcohol altogether or limit your alcohol intake to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men [2][3].
