Is Coenzyme Q10 compatible with Lipitor?

Coenzyme Q10 is compatible with Lipitor and other statins. Studies suggest that CoQ10 supplementation may actually decrease the side effects associated with statins, reports Healthline.

CoQ10 is a substance similar to a vitamin. It is found in every cell of the body, which uses it to produce energy and protect the body from damage caused by harmful molecules, explains WebMD. In particular, CoQ10 helps protect the heart and skeletal muscles.

Statins lower the body's levels of CoQ10, according to Healthline. This can lead to side effects such as muscle weakness and damage. CoQ10 supplements may increase CoQ10 levels in the body and reduce problems.
