Atorvastatin has been the world's top-selling
drug for several years. Statins are a class of
drugs used to lower cholesterol levels.
“I've heard that I should not consume grapefruit
products while taking Lipitor (Atorvastatin). I love
grapefruit juice but have given it up based on this
information. Is this true? Will the occasional glass of
grapefruit juice harm me?”
Grapefruit products, such as grapefruit,
grapefruit juice, or grapefruit supplements, can
interact with some cholesterol-lowering statins
and increase the level of medication in your
blood. Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) is one of
these statins.
