There is no direct evidence or information suggesting that specific infections prevent the prescription of Lipitor, a cholesterol-lowering medication commonly prescribed to manage high cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease [1]. Factors influencing Lipitor prescription typically include an individual's cholesterol levels, medical history, potential allergies, and other health conditions [1].

It is important to note that certain infections or illnesses may impact cholesterol levels, which could potentially influence the need for or dosage of Lipitor. However, the presence of an infection alone does not directly prevent the prescription of Lipitor [1].

Considering the complexity of medical treatments and individual health situations, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and information [1].
