Based on the information available, I found no evidence or studies indicating that athletes should not take Lipitor (atorvastatin) with sports drinks. However, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before combining any medication, such as Lipitor, with any other substances, including sports drinks.

Lipitor is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes [1]. Sports drinks, on the other hand, are beverages designed to help athletes replace water, electrolytes, and energy lost through sweating during exercise [2].

Combining medications with other substances can sometimes lead to unintended interactions, which may affect the drug's efficacy or increase the risk of side effects. While there is no specific information regarding Lipitor and sports drinks, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional before combining any substances [3].

In summary, athletes can take Lipitor with sports drinks, but it is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before combining any medication with other substances.
