Can lipitor affect the effectiveness of antihistamines?



Lipitor is a medication used to treat high cholesterol, while antihistamines are used to treat allergies. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], there is no known interaction between Lipitor and antihistamines. However, it is important to note that Lipitor may cause side effects such as nightmares and disturbing dreams [2]. A study published in the Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research [3] suggests that some antihistamines may increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with statins, a class of drugs that includes Lipitor. However, the study did not specifically look at the interaction between Lipitor and antihistamines. It is always important to talk to a healthcare provider about any potential drug interactions or side effects before taking any new medications.
