Atorva 40mg

Updated

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? Why not 20 mg or 10 mg when lipid is normal?

While your levels may be normal, now, your doctor does want to prevent them from getting high, again. In addition, the lower they are the better, so he may be trying to help you with that.

Have you discussed this with him?

Atorva contains the active ingredient Atorvastatin ad it may cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches.

My question was why my doctor prescribed so high dose of Atorva 40 mg continuously for seven months, when the lipids are normal now. Why he did not reduce the dosage and prescribe 20 or 10 mg? My doctor is too busy for discussion and I want a second opinion on this.
