This is an update. I have experienced "some" problems trying to get Doctors to believe that my muscle problems are Lipitor related. I was sent this by a nurse. It is not the full page. "2005 Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference (pg.155) atorvastatin Lipitor Uses: As an adjunct in primary hypercholesterolemia Interactiions: *Risk of possible rhabdomyolysis; azole antifungaals, cycloSPORINE, erythromycin, niacin, gemfibrozil, clofibrate". Guess what? I have been using an azole antifungal intermittently for the entire time I was on Lipitor. It is not a medication I "take". It is used topically for a fungal nail which refuses to clear up. You may have been using it for athletes foot. Now one pharmacist says a topical application cannot cause this interaction and another pharmacist says it is almost certain that the azole antifungal gets into the blood stream and will interact with the Lipitor. I have to laugh. Next week I start Physical Therapy on my left elbow.
