Can i take lipitor and fish oil together?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

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.
