Is it ok to break 80 mg tablets in half to acheive 40mg dose? ## Of course it is! You would be far better and cheaper if you were to buy a good generic atorvastatin though, as Lipitor is exceedingly overpriced. 80mg is a HUGE dosage of atorvastatin, and is equivalent in potency to almost 160mg Simvastatin, which many consider the superior statin. Have you recently suffered a stroke or myocardial infarction? ## It is okay to do so, as long as the medication is not time released, and your doctor approves. My cardiologist often prescribes some of my medications in a higher dosage, so I can cut them in half, since it is often cheaper that way. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Atorvastatin as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches. Are you on any othe...

What time of the day should this tablet be taken? ## It should be consumed in morning before breakfast. in most cases 1, 40 mg tab in a day. ## I have too much gas in my GI tract, like farts mostly at night time and my stomach feels full even if I eat very little. My friend told me to take pan 40 on an empty stomach. What exactly is this for? ## Try this natural way: Drink good amount of water 1 hr before food. DO NOT DRINK any water for at least 1-2 hr after food. Only if required, take max a sip or so during food thats it. After 2 hrs drink as much water as you like. It must be very difficult in the beginning to adapt to this system but you will get used to this in couple days. No harm in trying this natural method for a couple weeks.

I found this pill laying on my mothers floor and we do not know what it is and so far i have found no answers. the only answers i can find have numbers or letters added to it. there is no break in the pill and it only says TL 519. it is tan and sort of a oblong shape. what is it? ## I can't find any listings for this, either, in any of our U.S. prescription drug resources.

i m taking zoryl m1 tablet . please let me know the when to take these tablets that is with or without food / breakfast. If without food / breakfast, what should be the reasonable interval between food/breakfast & medicine intake. ## Zoryl M1 contains Metformin and Glimepiride, both of which are oral antidiabetic medications that are used to help lower and control blood sugar. Normally, they are taken on an empty stomach, just before a meal, with a full 8 ounce glass of water, that way they have time to start working to control your blood sugar, by the time you have finished eating. However, you should follow your doctor's instructions on when and how to take it. Learn more details on Metformin and Glimepiride details here. Are there any other questions?

I am having regular periods but doctor told your having some hormones problem so she suggest to use krimson 35 for three months.For 1 month am using tablets .Normally I got my period but bleeding spotting is not stopped upto 17days and more of my periods .for that I want stop tablets or any side effect occurs ## Why did he say that you're having a hormone problem? If you stop them, you will likely have a full period. But the breakthrough bleeding that you're having now is completely normal and can happen, when you first start taking them, until your body gets used to them.
