See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Based on the information available, it is generally safe to take Lipitor (atorvastatin) and naproxen together, as there are no known major interactions between these two drugs [1]. However, as with any medication, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting or changing any medication regimen.

Lipitor is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels, while naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, inflammation, and fever [2][3]. According to DrugPatentWatch.com, there are currently no patents listed for any drug-drug interactions between atorvastatin and naproxen [1].

However, it is important to note that both Lipitor and naproxen can have side effects and interactions with other medications. For example, both drugs can increase the risk of bleeding, and taking them together may further increase this risk [2][3]. Additionally, Lipitor can interact with certain medications that increase the level of Lipitor in the body, which can increase the risk of side effects [2].

Therefore, it is important to inform a healthcare provider or pharmacist of all medications being taken, including over-the-counter medications and supplements, to ensure safe and effective use of medications.
