Is it safe to take lipitor after drinking alcohol?



Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body [1]. According to Verywell Health, moderate alcohol consumption may not significantly affect the effectiveness of Lipitor. However, excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of liver damage, which can interfere with the body's ability to metabolize the medication [2]. Sutter Health suggests that individuals with high cholesterol should limit their alcohol consumption to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men [3]. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before consuming alcohol while taking Lipitor or any other medication.
