Did your liver enzymes get checked after combining lipitor and tums?



Based on the available information, there is no specific mention of the combination of Lipitor and Tums and its effect on liver enzymes. However, I can provide some context about each medication and liver enzymes.

Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels [1]. It belongs to a class of drugs called statins, which work by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol [1]. Liver enzymes may be checked when a patient starts taking Lipitor to ensure the medication is not causing liver damage [2].

Tums, on the other hand, is an antacid used to treat heartburn, sour stomach, or acid indigestion [3]. It contains calcium carbonate, which neutralizes stomach acid [3]. Tums is not known to affect liver enzymes directly.

As for the combination of these two medications, there is no specific information available in the provided sources about its effect on liver enzymes. However, it's always important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications and supplements you are taking [3]. If you have concerns about your liver enzymes after combining Lipitor and Tums, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider.
