Explanation:

Atorvastatin calcium (Lipitor) is a statin - type lipid - lowering drug. Contraindications usually include active liver disease, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. In this patient's case, the medical history of arthritis, peptic ulcer disease, and glaucoma do not directly contraindicate atorvastatin use. Also, there are no allergy - related or drug - interaction contraindications shown with naproxen and erythromycin.

None, the patient has no contraindications or cautions with atorvastatin calcium (Lipitor)
