Based on the information available, it is generally safe to take Lipitor (atorvastatin) and iron supplements together. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting any new medications or supplements, as they can interact with each other and affect how well they work or cause side effects [1].
According to the information from Drugs.com, there are no known interactions between atorvastatin (Lipitor) and iron supplements [2]. Additionally, the National Library of Medicine's Drug Interactions Checker does not list any interactions between atorvastatin and iron supplements [3].
It is worth noting that Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels and prevent heart disease, while iron supplements are typically used to treat or prevent iron deficiency anemia. They are not typically used for the same medical conditions, but they can be taken together if a healthcare provider determines it is appropriate.
In summary, based on the available information, it is generally safe to take Lipitor and iron supplements together. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting any new medications or supplements.
