Based on the available information, there is no specific recommended wait time between taking ibuprofen and Lipitor (atorvastatin), as they are not known to have a significant interaction [1]. However, it is generally recommended to separate the administration of medications by at least a few hours to avoid potential interactions [2].

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and Lipitor is a statin, a cholesterol-lowering medication [1][3]. While both drugs can be taken together, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist to ensure safe and effective use [1].

In some cases, taking ibuprofen and Lipitor together may increase the risk of muscle damage (myopathy) or kidney problems, especially in older adults or those with pre-existing kidney or liver conditions [1][3].

In summary, while there is no specific wait time recommended between taking ibuprofen and Lipitor, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before taking these medications together [1].
