There doesn't appear to be specific research or guidelines regarding a recommended dosage limit for Lipitor when taken with red wine. However, both Lipitor (atorvastatin) and red wine can affect liver function and blood pressure, so it's important to use caution when combining the two [1].

Lipitor is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels, and it's generally well-tolerated. However, potential side effects include liver enzyme abnormalities and muscle pain [1]. Red wine contains alcohol, which can also affect liver function and interact with certain medications [2].

When consuming alcohol and taking Lipitor, it's crucial to follow the recommended alcohol intake guidelines and monitor for any potential side effects [1]. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism recommends that men limit their alcohol intake to no more than two drinks per day and women to no more than one drink per day [3].

It's always best to consult with a healthcare provider before combining any medications with alcohol or making changes to your medication regimen [1]. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current health status.
