What are the risks of taking lipitor with vitamin e?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Based on the information available, there are limited studies and conclusive evidence regarding the interaction between Lipitor (atorvastatin) and Vitamin E. However, it's important to note that both Lipitor and Vitamin E are metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 system [1].

Lipitor is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels, while Vitamin E is an antioxidant that may have various health benefits. According to Drugs.com, there are no known interactions between Lipitor and Vitamin E [2]. However, high doses of Vitamin E may increase the risk of bleeding, and since Lipitor can also increase the risk of bleeding, combining the two could potentially enhance this risk [3].

It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting any new supplement or medication, as individual factors may influence the potential for interactions [4].
