Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body [3]. According to Everyday Health, there are no specific foods that need to be avoided while taking Lipitor [3]. However, it is recommended to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle to help lower cholesterol levels. Foods high in saturated and trans fats should be limited, as they can increase cholesterol levels in the body [2]. Foods to avoid when taking heart medications, as stated by Renown Health, include grapefruit and grapefruit juice [2]. Grapefruit can interfere with the liver's ability to metabolize certain medications, including Lipitor, which can lead to an increase in the medication's side effects [2]. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider about any concerns regarding food and medication interactions.
