Can lipitor be taken with red wine?



Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body [1]. While drinking alcohol in moderation may have some health benefits, it is not recommended to consume alcohol while taking Lipitor [2]. This is because alcohol can increase the risk of side effects such as liver damage and muscle problems, which are already potential side effects of Lipitor [3]. Therefore, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before consuming alcohol while taking Lipitor or any other medication.
