How long after taking lipitor can i take probiotics?



Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body [1]. While there is no specific information regarding the timing of taking probiotics after taking Lipitor, it is generally recommended to take probiotics at least two hours before or after taking any medication [2]. This is because probiotics can interact with some medications and reduce their effectiveness. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any supplements or making changes to medication regimens. It is also important to note that while probiotics may have potential health benefits, their effectiveness and safety have not been thoroughly researched, and more studies are needed to determine their long-term effects [3].
