Are there any interactions between lipitor and glucosamine?



According to the sources provided, there may be potential interactions between Lipitor (atorvastatin) and glucosamine. The website Drugs.com lists glucosamine as a supplement that may interact with amlodipine-atorvastatin, the generic name for Lipitor [2]. The website ConsumerLab.com also warns that glucosamine may increase the risk of muscle pain and weakness when taken with statins like Lipitor [3]. However, the website DrugPatentWatch does not mention any interactions between Lipitor and glucosamine [1].

It is important to note that while some sources may suggest potential interactions between drugs and supplements, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medications or supplements. Healthcare professionals can provide personalized advice based on an individual's medical history, current medications, and other factors.
