I was told by a friend that you should not ingest grapefruit or grapefruit juice while on Lipitor. Any word on this?

It's true. You should not ingest grapefruit while taking Liptor, as it could increase the active ingredient's concentration in your bloodstream to unsafe levels. This applies to multiple statins including Lipitor (atorvastatin), Mevacor (lovastatin), and Zocor (simvastatin).
