Can high fiber intake enhance lipitor's performance?

Does high fiber intake boost Lipitor effectiveness?

High fiber diets can reduce how much atorvastatin (Lipitor) gets into the blood. Soluble fiber binds cholesterol and bile acids in the gut, which may also bind some of the drug and lower its absorption. Studies show patients on high-fiber diets sometimes need higher doses to reach the same statin effect.
