Skim milk does not appear to have a significant impact on Lipitor's ability to lower cholesterol levels. Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, works by blocking the production of cholesterol in the body and increasing the removal of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, from the bloodstream [1].

Skim milk, on the other hand, is a low-fat dairy product that contains essential nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and protein [2]. While it is a healthier alternative to whole milk due to its lower fat content, it does not have any direct effect on cholesterol levels [3].

Therefore, consuming skim milk while taking Lipitor should not interfere with the medication's ability to lower cholesterol. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice on dietary habits and medication use.
