Atorvastatin and Green Tea Extract: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 4 records that name Atorvastatin and Green Tea Extract 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.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Atorvastatin and Green Tea Extract. 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.

The research

4 studies naming Atorvastatin and Green Tea Extract.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Effects of Green Tea Extract on Atorvastatin Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Volunteers.

European journal of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics · 2020 · PMID 31997084

Randomized Controlled Trial

“Green tea extract decreases the absorption but not the elimination of atorvastatin, possibly by inhibiting OATP, albeit not in a dose-dependent manner. Coadministration of green tea extract with atorvastatin may necessitate the monitoring of the plasma concentration of atorvastatin in clinical practice.”

Abdelkawy et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Atorvastatin and Green Tea Extract in its title.

Synergistic inhibition of lung tumorigenesis by a combination of green tea polyphenols and atorvastatin.

Clinical cancer research : an official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research · 2008 · PMID 18676773

Research Support, N.I.H., ExtramuralHuman subjects

“The present work showed that PPE and atorvastatin synergistically inhibited 4-(methylnitrosaminao)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone-induced lung tumorigenesis in mice and the growth of lung cancer H1299 and H460 cells, possibly through enhanced apoptosis. The results provide leads for future research on the application of this combination for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer.”

Lu et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Atorvastatin and Green Tea Extract in its title.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

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, Green Tea Extract, 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.
