Can you take cholesterol medication and eat citrus fruits?

Can you take Tulip cholesterol and eat citrus fruits (grapefruits, oranges...)? My friend said that you shouldn't do it, and I like them very much, especially grapefruits, and I don't know what to do now

To @blondynka8:

Due to these interactions, it is recommended to avoid consuming grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking atorvastatin. Even one serving of grapefruit a day can cause a significant interaction.

I'm taking arorwasterol 20 mg 1 tablet or can I eat 1 grapefruit a day?

Dzień dobry,
Podczas leczenia lekiem Tulip ( atorwastatyna) nie jest wskazane spożywanie dużych ilości cytrusów (zwłaszcza grejpfrutów). Związki zawarte w tych owocach zwiększają stężenie statyny we krwi, co może skutkować nasileniem działań niepożądanych.

Najbezpieczniej podczas leczenia byłoby zupełnie zrezygnować ze spożywania owoców cytrusowych. Oczywiście siła tej interakcji zależy od ilości i kondycji (zwłaszcza wątroby). Jeden, dwa owoce na tydzień raczej nie spowodują niebezpiecznej interakcji.

User questions and answers that provide feedback about products are not verified for the purchase or use of the product. Companies often order anonymous comments to form positive opinions about their products, or negative ones about competitors. Therefore, be guided by the information in the pharmacists' responses in the first place.
