Atorvastatin, marketed under the brand name Lipitor, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. According to the sources provided, there are several drug interactions that have been reported with Lipitor.

The first source [1] indicates that there are several patents for Lipitor, but does not provide information on drug interactions. However, the second and third sources [2][3] provide a list of drugs that may interact with atorvastatin.

According to Drugs.com [2], atorvastatin may interact with medications such as cyclosporine, gemfibrozil, and niacin, which can increase the risk of muscle problems. Additionally, atorvastatin may interact with anticoagulants such as warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding.
