There is no direct evidence to suggest that Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, affects iron absorption during meals. Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a type of statin that works by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol [1].

Iron absorption is a complex process that involves several factors, including the presence of certain substances in the gut, the form of iron in the food, and the acidity of the stomach [2]. There are no known interactions between atorvastatin and iron that would suggest an impact on iron absorption [3].

However, it's always important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice, as individual responses to medications can vary. They can provide guidance based on a comprehensive view of your health history and current medications.
