How long should i wait after taking lipitor to consume dairy?



Based on the information provided, there is no specific mention of how long you should wait after taking Lipitor (atorvastatin) to consume dairy products. Generally, Lipitor is an oral medication used to treat high cholesterol and prevent heart disease and stroke [1]. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food, depending on the patient's and healthcare provider's preference [3].

However, the Mayo Clinic mentions that certain medications, like ciprofloxacin, may need to be taken on an empty stomach, and dairy products should be avoided for a short period before and after taking the medication [2]. This is not explicitly stated for Lipitor, but if you have concerns or specific dietary restrictions, it is always best to consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice [1][3].
