Been googling and there's no straight answer

[nmp1]

So I'm trying to figure out if it's ok to take Tylenol while taking atorvastatin (for cholesterol)

[Shelleymloy]

I also take atorvastatin.....but when i get a headache I take Tylenol

my doctor knows this and hasn't told me to not do so

hopefully this is helpful

Need to ask; not assume your MD knows your question if you don't outright ask it.

webmd.com/interaction-check... its says no interactions

Please see 11th Commandment below.

Both can actually be hard individually

on your liver. I don’t know that it’s contraindicated. Call the pharmacy where you get your atorvastatin. They can give you a more concrete answer. I was never told not to take Tylenol when on my Lipitor. (Atorvastatin)

The 11th Commandment should be : Thou shall not Google. Call MD.

[Hopeful-Tinkerbell]

Any medication questions can be answered by your local pharmacy. Especially if they are providing the Med to you and they have better hours than your doctor.

Call your doctor please.xx

I have been on Lipitor max dose of 80mg Of for the past 10 years.

I have also been taking Tylenol as required.

There mechanisms of action are completely different and there are no contraindications to taking them.

I would wait 1 hr apart just to ensure the drugs are well absorbed.

I take cholesterol Meds too, so for anything I've taken had been ok. You can't trust everything on the Internet. Best thing to do is call your pharmacist when in doubt. That's what they do BEST.
