Can lipitor still work if i drink occasionally?



Lipitor is a medication used to treat high cholesterol, which can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke [1]. According to Verywell Health [2], moderate alcohol consumption is generally safe for people taking Lipitor. However, it is important to note that excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of liver damage and other side effects associated with the medication. Sutter Health [3] also suggests that moderate alcohol consumption may not interfere with the effectiveness of Lipitor, but heavy drinking can increase the risk of liver damage and other complications. Therefore, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider about any alcohol consumption while taking Lipitor to ensure safe and effective use of the medication.
