Is it safe to take lipitor and allergy meds together?



Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Allergy relief tablets, on the other hand, are used to alleviate symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose. According to Drugs.com, there is a potential interaction between these two medications, but it is not considered significant.

Taking Lipitor and allergy meds together may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. However, this interaction is not common and is not expected to cause serious harm. Patients who are taking both medications should be aware of these potential side effects and should talk to their doctor if they experience any unusual symptoms.

It is important to note that the information provided here is not intended to replace medical advice. Patients should always consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medications or changing their current medication regimen.
