Is there a recommended sodium intake with lipitor?



Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication that is used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. According to the prescribing information [2], there is no specific recommended sodium intake with Lipitor. However, it is important to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle to help manage cholesterol levels. This may include reducing the intake of saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol, and increasing the intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The American Heart Association recommends limiting sodium intake to no more than 2,300 milligrams per day, or 1,500 milligrams per day for people with high blood pressure or at risk for it [3]. It is important to talk to a healthcare provider about individual dietary needs and any concerns about medication interactions.
