Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. There are no known interactions between Lipitor and natural remedies, but it is important to talk to your doctor before taking any herbal supplements or natural remedies, as they can interact with other medications or have potential side effects. According to the Mayo Clinic [3], some herbal supplements can interfere with the effectiveness of certain medications, including Lipitor. For example, St. John's wort can reduce the effectiveness of Lipitor, while garlic can increase the risk of bleeding when taken with blood-thinning medications like Lipitor. Additionally, the antiviral medication ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir (Paxlovid) can interact with Lipitor, potentially increasing the risk of side effects such as muscle pain or weakness [2]. Therefore, it is important to talk to your doctor before taking any herbal supplements or natural remedies while on Lipitor. Sources: [2] COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines.
