Most people taking atorvastatin can drink coffee as usual; grapefruit juice and heavy alcohol are the drink choices that cause more trouble. Morning coffee is a routine for a lot of us.

Cranberry products may lower repeat UTI risk for some people, but they don’t treat an active infection. If you’ve had a UTI, you know the drill: burning, urgency, and that “I need a bathroom now” feeling.
