Based on the information available, there doesn't seem to be a specific time of day recommended for taking Lipitor (atorvastatin), a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels. However, it's generally advised to take Lipitor at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the drug in your body.
The FDA-approved label for Lipitor states that the medication can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food [1]. Similarly, the medical website WebMD mentions that Lipitor can be taken at any time, but it's best to take it at the same time every day [2].
It's important to note that certain medications, including Lipitor, may interact with grapefruit and grapefruit juice, potentially leading to adverse effects [1]. Therefore, it's recommended to avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking Lipitor [1].
In conclusion, while there's no specific time of day recommended for taking Lipitor, it's advised to take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the drug in your body. Also, avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking Lipitor [1][2].
