See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Combining Lipitor (atorvastatin) with NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) may pose certain risks. Lipitor is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels, while NSAIDs are used for pain relief and reducing inflammation. NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen can potentially increase the risk of muscle-related side effects when taken with statins like Lipitor. This combination may lead to muscle pain, weakness, or even a rare but serious condition called rhabdomyolysis, where muscle breakdown can cause kidney damage. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before combining these medications to assess the potential risks and benefits based on individual health conditions and medication doses [3][2][1].
