Based on the information available, there is no significant interaction between milk and Lipitor (atorvastatin), a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Milk does not affect the absorption or effectiveness of Lipitor [1]. This is because Lipitor is a drug that is highly soluble in water and is rapidly absorbed in the stomach and small intestine, regardless of food intake [2].

Nonetheless, it is important to note that some medications may interact with milk or other dairy products, causing decreased absorption or altered effectiveness. For example, tetracycline and doxycycline, antibiotics, can interact with milk and other dairy products, leading to decreased absorption [3].

In conclusion, while milk does not interact with Lipitor, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before consuming any food or drink that may interact with prescribed medications.
