Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body. When taking Lipitor, it is important to be aware of potential interactions with supplements.

According to ConsumerLab [2], some supplements that may interact with statins, including Lipitor, include red yeast rice, coenzyme Q10, St. John's wort, and vitamin D. Red yeast rice contains a compound that is similar to the active ingredient in statins, and taking both together may increase the risk of side effects. Coenzyme Q10 may reduce the effectiveness of statins, and St. John's wort may increase the risk of side effects. Vitamin D may interact with Lipitor, but more research is needed to determine the extent of this interaction.

SingleCare [3] suggests that it is important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking any supplements with Lipitor. They recommend discussing any potential interactions and determining whether supplements are necessary.

DrugPatentWatch [1] provides information on the patent status of Lipitor. While this information is useful for understanding the market for the medication, it does not provide information on how to safely take Lipitor with supplements.

In summary, when taking Lipitor, it is important to be aware of potential interactions with supplements. Some supplements that may interact with Lipitor include red yeast rice, coenzyme Q10, St. John's wort, and vitamin D. It is important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking any supplements with Lipitor to discuss potential interactions and determine whether supplements are necessary.
