Can i eat nuts at the same time as lipitor?



Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. According to GoodRx, it is best to take Lipitor at night, with or without food, to optimize its effectiveness [2]. The website does not mention any restrictions on eating nuts while taking Lipitor.

Zetia is another medication used to lower cholesterol levels [3]. However, it works differently than statins like Lipitor [3]. The article from Medical News Today explains that Zetia blocks the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines, while statins work by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver [3]. The article does not mention any restrictions on eating nuts while taking Zetia.

Overall, there does not seem to be any evidence suggesting that eating nuts would interfere with the effectiveness of Lipitor or Zetia. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before making any changes to medication or diet.
