Can lipitor be taken at night to avoid drowsiness?



Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce the risk of heart disease [3]. The question is whether taking Lipitor at night can avoid drowsiness.

According to Drugs.com, taking Lipitor at night may be beneficial for some people. It can potentially improve the effectiveness of the medication and reduce the risk of side effects, such as muscle pain and weakness [2]. The article also suggests that taking Lipitor at night may help to avoid drowsiness, although this is not a common side effect of the medication [2].

However, the Drug Patent Watch website does not mention anything about taking Lipitor at night to avoid drowsiness [1]. It only provides information about the patent status of the medication and its generic equivalents.

SingleCare's blog post about Lipitor also does not directly address the question of whether taking Lipitor at night can avoid drowsiness [3]. However, it does mention that Lipitor should be taken at the same time each day, regardless of whether it is taken with or without food [3]. This is because the medication works best when it is taken consistently and as directed by a healthcare provider.

In conclusion, taking Lipitor at night may improve its effectiveness and reduce the risk of side effects, but it is unclear whether this can specifically help to avoid drowsiness. It is important to follow the instructions of a healthcare provider when taking Lipitor and to report any side effects that may occur.
