PubMed indexes 8 records that name Atorvastatin and Coenzyme Q10 together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.
Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.
This page lists published research relevant to Atorvastatin and Coenzyme Q10. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
“Co-administration of L-carnitine, but not coenzyme Q10, enhances the anti-osteoporotic effect of atorvastatin while antagonizing myopathy in ovariectomized rats. This could be valuable in treatment of osteoporotic patients. However, further confirmatory studies are needed.”
Names both Atorvastatin and Coenzyme Q10 in its title.
“Despite substantial increases in the serum Q10 and selenium levels following the oral supplementation, this study revealed no significant effects on SIM compared with the placebo.”
Names both Atorvastatin and Coenzyme Q10 in its title.
“In conclusion, long-term treatment with ATO might increase plasma levels of BNP in patients with CAD when it is accompanied by a greater reduction in plasma CoQ10. However, ATO-induced decreases in CoQ10 might not increase oxidative stress.”
Names both Atorvastatin and Coenzyme Q10 in its title.
“These changes in plasma CoQ10 levels showed no relation to the changes in serum AST, ALT and CK levels. Further studies are needed, however, for the evaluation of CoQ10 supplementation in statin therapy.”
Names both Atorvastatin and Coenzyme Q10 in its title.
“Percent reductions of ubiquinol-10 and those of total cholesterol showed a positive correlation (r = 0.627, p = 0.0165). As atorvastatin reduces serum ubiquinol-10 as well as serum cholesterol levels in all patients, it is imperative that physicians are forewarned about the risks associated with ubiquinol-10 depletion.”
Names both Atorvastatin and Coenzyme Q10 in its title.
“P and A did not decrease CoQ10 despite a significant decrease in LDL levels. These findings suggest that HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors do not significantly decrease the synthesis of circulating CoQ10 in healthy subjects. Routine supplementation of CoQ10 may not be necessary when HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor therapy is administered.”
Names both Atorvastatin and Coenzyme Q10 in its title.
“Amlodipine is able to neutralize the negative effect of atorvastin on the redox balance of CoQ10 in patients with CHF. An additional prescription of the antioxidant ethoxidol to standard therapy for patients with CHF was substantiated. Determination of the redox state of CoQ10 in plasma can be used to diagnose and assess the degree of oxidative stress in patients with cardiovascular diseases, as well as to assess the efficacy and safety of ongoing pharmacotherapy.”
Names both Atorvastatin and Coenzyme Q10 in its title.
“The combined use of CoQ10/atorvastatin could be a potential strategy to prevent CIN. However, future studies are warranted to test different combinations for longer prophylactic periods.”
Names both Atorvastatin and Coenzyme Q10 in its title.
Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Atorvastatin, Coenzyme Q10, and several hundred other substances.
The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
NutriStack is an informational and organizational tool, not a medical service, and not a substitute for professional advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement or medication.
