Can You Take Atorvastatin and Magnesium Together?

No documented interaction was identified between atorvastatin and magnesium in the sources reviewed.

No documented interaction identifiedEvidence: Moderate

What the interaction means

Atorvastatin's FDA label mentions magnesium only as 'magnesium stearate,' an inactive tablet ingredient (unrelated to its listing in warfarin's CYP450 table). Magnesium's own established interactions-section record does not name atorvastatin.

No documented interaction was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.

Practical context

Both substances' current sources were checked; the inactive-ingredient mention was deliberately not treated as a real interaction claim.
