What side effects might occur from mixing lipitor and sparkling wine?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Based on the information available, mixing Lipitor (atorvastatin) and sparkling wine could potentially lead to side effects. However, it's important to note that the specific interaction between Lipitor and sparkling wine is not directly mentioned in the sources cited.

Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart complications [1]. Common side effects of Lipitor include muscle pain, liver damage, and increased blood sugar levels [1].

Sparkling wine, like other alcoholic beverages, can interact with medications and cause side effects [2]. Alcohol can increase the levels of atorvastatin in the blood, which may increase the risk of side effects [1]. Additionally, alcohol can interact with medications that are broken down by the liver, potentially leading to liver damage [2].

Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before consuming alcohol while taking Lipitor [1]. It's also important to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider or pharmacist [1].

In summary, while there is no specific information on the interaction between Lipitor and sparkling wine, it is possible that mixing the two could lead to increased side effects due to the interaction between alcohol and Lipitor.
