According to DrugPatentWatch [1], there are 125 drugs that have potential interactions with Lipitor. These interactions can range from minor to severe and can include changes in the way Lipitor works or an increase in the risk of side effects.

Drugs.com [2] lists 441 drugs that have potential interactions with Lipitor. These interactions can include changes in the effectiveness of Lipitor, increased risk of side effects, and the possibility of drug toxicity. Some of the more common drugs that have potential interactions with Lipitor include aspirin, amlodipine, and metformin.

GoodRx [3] also lists a number of drugs that can interact with Lipitor, including some antibiotics, antifungal medications, and HIV medications.

It is important to note that not all potential interactions between drugs and Lipitor will occur in every patient. Additionally, some interactions may be more severe in certain populations, such as the elderly or those with pre-existing medical conditions.
