There is no direct scientific evidence to suggest that Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, becomes less beneficial near chlorinated pools. Lipitor's efficacy should not be directly affected by chlorinated pools, as the drug is designed to be broken down and metabolized in the liver after ingestion [1].

However, it is important to note that chlorinated pools can cause dry skin and eye irritation [2]. This could potentially lead to increased use of moisturizers or eye drops, which could interact with certain medications, including Lipitor [3]. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist about potential interactions between medications and other substances [4].

In summary, while there is no direct evidence to suggest that Lipitor becomes less beneficial near chlorinated pools, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider about potential interactions with medications and other substances.
