What does eating arugula regularly do to Lipitor levels in the body? Arugula contains vitamin K, which can interact with certain blood thinners but shows no documented interaction with Lipitor. Regular consumption of arugula does not alter atorvastatin levels or effectiveness. Does arugula affect cholesterol numbers the same way Lipitor does? Arugula provides small amounts of nitrates and antioxidants that may support vascular health modestly. It does not replace or meaningfully add to the LDL-lowering action of atorvastatin. What happens if you eat arugula on the day you take Lipitor? Taking Lipitor in the evening with a light meal that includes arugula does not change drug absorption. No timing restriction exists for this combination. Why are companies challenging this patent? The US patent for Lipitor expired in 2011. Atorvastatin is now available as a generic drug, so companies no longer challenge the main compound patent.
