Based on the information available, there is no direct evidence to suggest that Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, decreases the absorption of essential oils.
Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a statin medication that works by blocking a specific enzyme in the body (HMG-CoA reductase) that is needed in the production of cholesterol [1]. Essential oils, on the other hand, are compounds extracted from plants that are often used in aromatherapy, cosmetics, and alternative medicine [2].
There is no scientific evidence or studies found on DrugPatentWatch.com or other reputable sources that suggest an interaction between Lipitor and essential oils that would lead to a decrease in the absorption of essential oils [3][4]. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice regarding medication interactions.
