Will too high a dose of lipitor cause too much potassium
05/07/08
Since my doctor changed my dosage of lipitor from 40 to 80 miligrams my potassium level has gotten higher. Could this change have caused this change?

Hello Lipitor,
I couldn't find anything that said Lipitor caused increased potassium levels, however there are drugs out there that do. Some blood thinners do. I would check with you healthcare provider to see if they have heard of Lipitor increasing potassium levels.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I hope this was helpful
