Lipitor interactions with other hypertension meds?



Lipitor, which is the brand name for atorvastatin, is a medication used to treat high cholesterol. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], there are no known interactions between Lipitor and hypertension medications. However, it is important to note that hypertension medications can interact with other medications. For example, Paxlovid, which is a medication used to treat COVID-19, can interact with some hypertension medications. According to GoodRx [2], Paxlovid can interact with amlodipine, diltiazem, nifedipine, and verapamil. The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines [3] also list these medications as having potential interactions with Paxlovid. Therefore, it is important for patients to discuss all medications they are taking, including hypertension medications, with their healthcare provider to ensure there are no potential interactions.
