Is it safe to take lipitor and omega 3 together?



Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels, while omega-3 is a type of fatty acid found in fish oil supplements. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, taking omega-3 supplements along with statins like Lipitor can provide additional benefits in reducing cholesterol levels [2]. However, there are some potential interactions to be aware of. According to Healthline, taking high doses of omega-3 supplements along with statins may increase the risk of bleeding and may also interfere with the effectiveness of the statin [3]. Therefore, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking both Lipitor and omega-3 supplements together. They can help determine the appropriate dosage and monitor for any potential interactions or side effects.
