Can i eat nuts while taking lipitor?



Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. According to Prevention, nuts can be a healthy snack option for those taking statins like Lipitor [2]. However, it is important to note that some nuts may interact with blood thinners or statins, causing changes in their effectiveness. Guthrie recommends avoiding Brazil nuts, which contain high levels of selenium, and black walnuts, which may interact with blood thinners and statins [3]. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider about any potential interactions between medications and specific foods or supplements.
