Based on the available information, there is no definitive evidence that dairy products interfere with Lipitor's cholesterol-lowering benefits. According to the drug patent watch website [1], Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. The WebMD page [2] on Lipitor states that it works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body and increasing the removal of cholesterol from the blood.

A study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information [3] found that dairy products, specifically fermented dairy products, may have a cholesterol-lowering effect. The study states that "fermented dairy products have been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect, which is attributed to the bioactive compounds produced by the starter cultures during fermentation."

It is important to note that each individual's body may react differently to medications and foods, and it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice. However, based on the available information, there is no evidence to suggest that dairy products interfere with Lipitor's cholesterol-lowering benefits.
