What painkillers are safe to take with lipitor?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

When taking Lipitor (atorvastatin), a cholesterol-lowering medication, it is important to be cautious about potential interactions with other medications, including painkillers. According to sources like Drug Patent Watch, the NHS, and GoodRx, it is generally safe to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) with Lipitor. Acetaminophen is considered a safer option compared to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen, which may have more significant interactions with atorvastatin and could potentially increase the risk of side effects. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before combining any medications to ensure safety and effectiveness.
