Can probiotics counteract lipitor side effects?



Lipitor, a medication used to lower cholesterol levels, can have side effects such as muscle pain, liver damage, and digestive issues [1]. According to Express Scripts, probiotics may help with digestive issues, but there is no evidence to suggest that they can counteract the side effects of Lipitor [2]. Furthermore, Hopkins Medicine notes that while probiotics have been shown to have some benefits for heart health, there is not enough evidence to support their use as a treatment for high cholesterol or to counteract the side effects of medications like Lipitor [3]. Therefore, it is important to talk to a healthcare provider about any concerns or side effects related to Lipitor and to follow their recommendations for managing these issues.
