Lipitor is a prescription medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. The active ingredient in Lipitor is atorvastatin calcium [1]. According to the FDA, Lipitor is excreted into human milk, and nursing should be discontinued while taking Lipitor [3]. The National Center for Biotechnology Information also confirms that atorvastatin is excreted into human milk and advises against its use during breastfeeding [2]. Therefore, it is not recommended to take Lipitor while breastfeeding.
