Based on the information available, Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels. While there is no comprehensive list of foods that directly interact with Lipitor, certain foods can affect its efficacy or increase the risk of side effects when consumed with this medication.

Grapefruit and its juice are the most well-known foods that can interact with Lipitor [1]. Consuming grapefruit or its juice can increase the amount of Lipitor in the bloodstream, potentially leading to increased side effects such as muscle pain and liver damage [1]. However, it is important to note that you do not need to completely avoid grapefruit; consuming small amounts (e.g., a glass of grapefruit juice or a section of grapefruit) is generally considered safe [1].

Other foods that may affect cholesterol levels and thus the efficacy of Lipitor include those high in saturated and trans fats, such as red meat, butter, and fried foods [2]. Consuming these foods can increase cholesterol levels, potentially reducing the effectiveness of Lipitor [2].

In summary, while there are no other specific foods that have been identified as directly interacting with Lipitor, consuming grapefruit and foods high in saturated and trans fats may affect the medication's efficacy or increase the risk of side effects.
