to reduce cholesterol level which are the best medicin with less side effect instead of above tablet 5 mg ## There is really no way to say which one would be better for any single person, because everyone can react to a medication differently. The Statin drug class all carry the risks of the same side effects and the only thing you can really do is try them and see how they affect you. Have you discussed this with your doctor? ## i need to redoce triglyciride without medication. im 40 and my TG is 250mg/dl.

My doctor prescribed Atorva 40 mg tablets first for 1 month when my cholesterol was 388 MG/DL. When cholestorol, hdl & ldl levels became normal, he prescribed for 3 moths; again now after lipid test which is normal he has prescribed the same dose for 3 more months. Is it needed?

I cannot swallow pills. The instructions for taking Atorvastatin says do not crush or chew. Should I continue to take it this way? ## @flatball, From what I could gather, Atorvastatin only comes in tablet form, whereas you may just have to find a way to adhere to those instructions unless your doctor suggests otherwise. Another thought is to ask your doctor if dissolving the tablets in water would be an option as well? And lastly, if none of the above is suitable for your needs, then perhaps it would be best to find another alternative to Atorvastatin that comes in different dosage forms and without restrictions as to how it can be administered. A few medication names that might be worth considering in the same drug class of statins are: Simvastatin, Rosuvastatin, and Pravastatin - howe...

What is the difference in the action of Atorvastatin against simvastatin? ## I am taking a new blood pressure pill called "Amlodipine Besylate". On the dosage instructions, it says extra care may be needed in taking this with simvastatin....Is the same caution for Atorvastatin ?JCZCP ## The reaction is unique to just the Simvastatin if taken with the Amlodipine, it can increase the levels of it that are absorbed in your body, which could result in more severe side effects, or a potential overdose. They can be used together, but the maximum Simvastatin dose should not exceed 20mgs daily. Learn more Amlodipine details here. Learn more Simvastatin details here.

What are the side effects of taking Stamio Beta, Asp-Atorva and Telmisartan-IP everyday? ## My Doctor has advised me to take one Asp Atorva 75 tablet every night after dinner. Is it safe? The doctor is treating me for my diabates and BP. ## Well, there are risks associated with taking any medication, especially for long periods of time, but in reality, the risks of not taking them and letting such conditions continue out of control are far, far greater than any possible dangers from the drugs to treat them. There is a small risk of these types of medications causing liver or kidney damage, but uncontrolled high blood pressure can eventually cause a heart attack, stroke or congestive heart failure. So, in truth, safety is relative. Medications aren't necessarily safe, but the medical...
