Are there risks in combining lipitor with garlic?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Combining Lipitor (atorvastatin) with garlic supplements may pose certain risks. Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels, while garlic is a commonly used supplement with potential cholesterol-lowering effects. However, garlic can also have blood-thinning properties, which may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with medications like Lipitor that also have blood-thinning effects. It is essential to consult a healthcare provider before combining these two substances to avoid potential interactions and adverse effects [2]. Additionally, healthcare professionals can provide personalized advice based on an individual's health status and medical history to ensure safe and effective treatment [3].
