Based on the information available, there are no specific water-soluble supplements that have been contraindicated with Lipitor (atorvastatin), a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels. However, it is essential to note that certain supplements can interact with Lipitor, potentially affecting its efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects.
Generally, supplements that can impact cholesterol levels or liver function may interact with Lipitor. These supplements include red yeast rice, niacin (vitamin B3), and garlic, which can potentially increase the risk of muscle damage (myopathy) or liver problems when taken with Lipitor [1].
Although no specific water-soluble supplements are contraindicated with Lipitor, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional or pharmacist before starting or continuing any supplement regimen while on Lipitor. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current medications.
