Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body [1]. According to Health Harvard, moderate alcohol consumption does not interfere with the effectiveness of statins like Lipitor. However, heavy alcohol consumption can cause liver damage and increase the risk of muscle damage when combined with statins [2]. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider about alcohol consumption while taking Lipitor. Sutter Health advises patients to avoid drinking alcohol in excess when trying to lower cholesterol levels, as alcohol can contribute to high triglyceride levels [3]. There is no specific information available on how long after taking Lipitor red wine can be consumed. It is important to follow the advice of a healthcare provider and drink alcohol in moderation while taking Lipitor.
