See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor
Lipitor, a medication commonly prescribed to manage high cholesterol levels, is a statin drug whose active ingredient is atorvastatin [1]. According to the drug's official FDA label, Lipitor can be taken with or without food, and no specific instructions are given regarding strawberry meals [2].
However, it is important to note that certain foods can potentially interact with Lipitor. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice are well-known to interact with Lipitor, as they can increase the amount of atorvastatin in the body, potentially leading to increased side effects [2].
Strawberries, on the other hand, are not known to interact with Lipitor or atorvastatin [3]. Therefore, based on the available information, lipitor dosage adjustment does not seem to be needed with strawberry meals.
That being said, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice regarding medication use and potential food interactions.
