Based on the information available, there is no explicit recommendation for Lipitor users to avoid red meat entirely. Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, works by lowering the levels of "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood [1].

However, it's important to note that a high cholesterol diet, which can include red meat, can contribute to high cholesterol levels in the body [2]. Therefore, while Lipitor can help manage cholesterol levels, it's still crucial for individuals to maintain a heart-healthy diet, which may or may not include red meat [3].

The decision to include red meat in the diet should be based on individual health considerations and dietary needs. It's always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or a dietitian for personalized advice [4].
