Should i consult my doctor before taking lipitor with nsaids?



It is advisable to consult your doctor before taking Lipitor (atorvastatin) with NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels, while NSAIDs are commonly used for pain relief and reducing inflammation. Both types of drugs can have interactions with other medications, potentially leading to adverse effects or reducing the effectiveness of one or both drugs. Consulting with your doctor will help ensure that any potential interactions are identified and managed appropriately to prevent any negative consequences [2][3].
