Tonact 10 Medicine For Cholostrol Lowering

Updated

I have been prescribed Tonact 10 for lowering cholesterol. This has lowered my cholesterol and now the lipid profile is within the prescribed limits.
But this medicine seems to have side effect of pain in body particularly in neck, shoulders and arms. On discussions with friends I was informed to reduce the potency of the drug to 25mg and take it on alternate days. This has worked and my pain in above parts of the body has disappeared to a great extent. Even after reducing the potency of the medicine and having it on alternate day my lipid profile levels are with in normal limits. I feel well with reduced medicine.
Is it proper to reduce the medicine against the prescription of the treating doctor.

I wish to know at what time of the day tonact 10 should be taken. I was told by one of the doctors that it has to be taken at night so that nothing is consumed for the next 5 to 6 hours. further the only side effect I have noticed is a little constipation

Tonact contains the active ingredient Atorvastatin and yes, it can cause such side effects in some people that take it.

And no, adjusting how you take it without informing the doctor isn't really proper, but you should contact them to discuss them and tell them why you did and how it is working for you.

As to what time to take it, you should follow your doctor's instructions.

Are there any other questions?
