Based on the information available, there is no direct evidence to suggest that Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, affects the ability to increase joint flexibility through exercise. Lipitor is a statin drug that works by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol [1].

Exercise, particularly flexibility exercises like yoga or stretching, can help improve joint flexibility by increasing the range of motion of your joints [2]. This is primarily due to the physical movements involved in these exercises, not due to any interaction with medications like Lipitor.

However, it's important to note that while Lipitor itself may not directly affect joint flexibility, it can have side effects like muscle pain or weakness [1]. These side effects could potentially impact a person's ability or motivation to exercise, indirectly affecting joint flexibility.

In conclusion, while Lipitor does not seem to have a direct impact on the ability to increase joint flexibility through exercise, it's always important to discuss any concerns or side effects with a healthcare provider.
