What are the risks of taking lipitor with potassium?



Lipitor is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels. It belongs to a class of drugs known as statins. According to Everyday Health [2], there is no known interaction between Lipitor and potassium. However, it is important to note that certain medications can affect potassium levels in the body. GoodRx [3] states that some drugs, such as diuretics, laxatives, and certain antibiotics, can cause low potassium levels. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider before taking any new medications, especially if you are already taking Lipitor. Drug Patent Watch [1] does not provide information on the risks of taking Lipitor with potassium, but it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement.
