Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. The active ingredient in Lipitor is atorvastatin calcium. There is limited information available on how long Lipitor stays in breast milk. However, the manufacturer of Lipitor recommends that women who are breastfeeding should not take Lipitor due to the potential risk to the infant [1]. The American Academy of Pediatrics also recommends that breastfeeding women avoid taking Lipitor [2].

Lipitor is metabolized in the liver and eliminated from the body through the feces. It has a half-life of approximately 14 hours in the bloodstream, meaning that it takes about 14 hours for half of the medication to be eliminated from the body [3].

While there is limited information on how long Lipitor stays in breast milk, it is recommended that women who are breastfeeding avoid taking Lipitor due to the potential risk to the infant. It is important for women who are breastfeeding and taking any medication to consult with their healthcare provider to determine the safest course of action for themselves and their infant.
