Does lipitor interfere with plant based iron absorption?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Lipitor, a medication used to lower cholesterol, does not directly interfere with the absorption of plant-based iron. However, it is important to note that certain medications, including Lipitor, may interact with calcium supplements, affecting their absorption. Calcium supplements can inhibit the absorption of iron from plant-based sources. Therefore, if you are taking Lipitor and calcium supplements, it is advisable to space out the intake of these two supplements to maximize the absorption of both nutrients. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian for personalized advice on managing medication and nutrient interactions.
