Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body [1]. According to Healthline [2], grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interact with Lipitor and increase the risk of side effects. This is because grapefruit contains a compound that can interfere with the enzymes responsible for breaking down Lipitor in the body, leading to higher levels of the drug in the bloodstream. As a result, the risk of side effects such as muscle pain and liver damage may increase.

While the sources did not specifically mention limes or lime juice, Drugs.com [3] advises against consuming large amounts of any citrus fruit, including limes, while taking statin drugs like Lipitor. This is because all citrus fruits contain compounds that can interact with the same enzymes as grapefruit, potentially leading to similar interactions and side effects.

In conclusion, it is recommended to avoid consuming grapefruit or large amounts of any citrus fruit while taking Lipitor to avoid potential interactions and side effects. It is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before making any changes to medication or diet.
