A member asked:

I take lipitor (atorvastatin) and papers say don't take any niacin with it. my vitamin contains niacin. is it ok to take my vitamin while taking 60 mgs of lipitor (atorvastatin)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vitamin: If you are taking a multivite with commensurate low dose of niacin, it shouldn't be a problem. The doses of niacin we use to lower high lipids are much higher and these area what the warning is about.
