Based on the information available, it is generally considered safe to take Lipitor (atorvastatin) and fish oil supplements together [1]. Both Lipitor and fish oil can help lower cholesterol levels, with Lipitor being a prescription medication and fish oil a dietary supplement [1][2].
Lipitor is a statin, a type of drug that reduces cholesterol production in the body [1]. Fish oil, on the other hand, contains omega-3 fatty acids, which can also help lower triglyceride levels and reduce the risk of heart disease [2].
However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement regimen, as individual responses to medications and supplements can vary [1]. Additionally, fish oil supplements can interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners, so it is important to inform a healthcare provider of all medications and supplements being taken [2].
In summary, based on the available information, it is generally considered safe to take Lipitor and fish oil together, but it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement regimen.
