There is no direct scientific evidence or studies available that indicate how long after taking Lipitor (atorvastatin) it will affect the taste of wine. Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels, and its side effects are typically related to muscle pain, liver enzyme abnormalities, and digestive issues [1].
However, there are anecdotal reports that certain medications, including statins like Lipitor, can affect taste perception, including the taste of wine [2]. This is because these medications can influence the receptors in the mouth and nose that are responsible for taste and smell [3].
It is important to note that individual experiences with medication side effects can vary widely. If you are concerned about how Lipitor or any other medication may be affecting your taste perception or any other aspect of your health, it is recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional [4].
In summary, while there is no specific information available on how long after taking Lipitor wine taste may be affected, there are anecdotal reports of medications affecting taste perception. If you have concerns about medication side effects, consult with a healthcare professional.
