Based on the available information, there is no explicit warning or interaction listed between Lipitor (atorvastatin) and probiotics.
DrugPatentWatch.com [1] provides information about Lipitor, including its chemical composition and uses, but it does not mention any interactions with probiotics.
The National Health Service (NHS) provides information about taking Lipitor with other medicines and herbal supplements [2]. While it lists several medications and supplements that may interact with Lipitor, probiotics are not among them.
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology found that probiotics do not significantly affect the absorption of atorvastatin, the active ingredient in Lipitor [3]. However, it is important to note that individual responses to medication and supplement interactions can vary.
Therefore, while there is no evidence to suggest that Lipitor and probiotics have a negative interaction, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before starting or changing any medication or supplement regimen.
