After conducting a thorough search, I found that Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, does not have any known interactions with citrus fruits [1]. However, it is important to note that Lipitor is known to interact with grapefruit juice [1][2].
Grapefruit juice can increase the level of Lipitor in the blood, which can increase the risk of side effects [2]. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid consuming grapefruit juice while taking Lipitor [2].
On the other hand, other citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and limes are not known to interact with Lipitor [1]. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before consuming any new food or drink while taking medication [1].
In summary, while Lipitor does not interact with most citrus fruits, it is important to avoid consuming grapefruit juice while taking this medication.
