Based on the information available, there is no specific recommendation to take Lipitor (atorvastatin) before or after yogurt. Lipitor is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels, and it can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food [1].
Yogurt, on the other hand, is a dairy product that contains calcium, protein, and probiotics, which can be beneficial for gut health [2]. There is no known interaction between atorvastatin and yogurt that would require them to be taken at specific times relative to each other.
However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice on medication administration, as individual circumstances may affect how a medication is best taken.
In summary, based on the available information, there is no need to take Lipitor before or after yogurt, and it can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food.
