atorvastatin tablets side effects

In one huge survey, atorvastatin came out on top with the least side effects. Here is some info regarding your question which I found on the internet..... Atorvastatin 10mg reduced LDL by 30-40% = equivalent to 20mg Simvastatin Atorvastatin 40mg reduced LDL by 46-50% = equivalent to 80mg Simvastatin Starting doses for each of the two statins are ....

Usually diet and exercise is the best first place to start, but with an LDL this high I would probably recommend starting a cholesterol lowering medication as well, such as a statin (e.g. atorvastatin, simvastatin). All medications have potential side effects, but the statins are relatively well tolerated by most people and your doctor should be watching for any dangerous side effects (which are rare).

I have used 10mg Atorvastatin for years with no side effects. The doctor is switching me to simvastatin which reacted badly with my liver in the past. Aim is to save money. Is it safe to buy Atorvastatin online ?

Typically Simvastatin is prescribed at 40mg but can be prescribed as high as 80mg daily but that will increase the risk of side effects. I would communicate new side effects with your doctor but try to push past the first few weeks, side effects should go away but be careful to report new issues.

The omeprazole appears to increase the bioavailability of the statin, increasing the risk of side effects. Does this mean that the interaction is like taking a higher dose of the statin, which would provide benefit for someone like me who only takes a low dose (10mg atorvastatin daily) and has no statin tolerance issues?

since then i m taking the tablet regularly and now my trygleycerides level is 135 without any side effects. Please advise me whether i can discontinue taking this drug for some years to come or do i have to take it regularly life long.

org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/statin-side-effects/art-20046013 This is an interesting read on statins. Some people have memory loss and others have improvement in their dementia. This is very patient dependent. Lipitor can take two week to offer the reduced cholesterol and cardiac risk that goes along with that. At one week, yes, side effects could emerge. So, please talk to her doctor. Let us know what they say.

I tend to notice side effects whenever my dosage is adjusted by my prescribing doctor or when I initially start it or taper off of it. I believe that experiencing side effects are two fold with me. One, there were some side effects, and two I probably tended to 'magnify' or focus in on them more intently and decided that any odd feeling was related to the medication when in reality, it may not have been due to the sertraline.

He also said since the normal dosage for Atorvastatin is 80 mg, he does not expect any side-effects with 5 mg. Given your experiences with your husband, kindly let me know your comments for the need for Atorvastatin at this time for my father and the potential for side-effects.

I've been on the road to recovery now for 6 months. I just could never get a head of steam going. One thing after another has come out of nowhere to set me back. Allergy's from detox, pneumonia, and a stroke. with the stroke, which is considered small and deep in my cerebellum, my vision and balance was effected. My balance was already damage from the benzo's and alcohol abuse. Lately some of you might have read my last thread that I haven't been feeling well.

My mother is taking Atorfit 10 (Atorvastatin 10 mg) for 3-4 years now. I searched for its side effects online and found that it has a number of them starting from constipation, flatulence, diarrhoea, chest pain, nausea, skin problem and many more- all of which she has had in the last 2 years at some time or the other. And yes, there were also 2% chances of arthritis as well. This means that she has been getting the side effects of the drug.

In Spain, we do not use Warfarine but Acenocoumarol (brand name Sintrom). You can discuss with your cardiologist to try it, to see if you do not have those side effects.

I would deff tell your doctor about that...

A related discussion, <a href='/posts/show/597107'>How to lower CPK </a> was started.

I do NOT tolerate these tablets as well and have also tried the 10mg capsules with the same effects (less effective more side effects- nausea, dizziness, fat face, racing thoughts, decreased libido, nightmares, sleep disturbances, etc.).. I have called several pharmacies but they all have the blue tablets too -_-... Th side effects persist even after a month on the different pill forms too.. Any options left? Or must I suck it up and take a pill that makes me sick or discontinue usage...

hi any advice much appreciated, i have been previously using Janmut for my diabetics but have run out so i was told Velmetia was the same, while i sent away to CDO for this Velmetia i used Matformin and boy oh boy i got terrible side effects from joint pain to stomach pain to headaches to extreme pain left back shoulder blade pain going from back to my heart, gee that frighten me quite a bit, once i received the Velmetia it worked ok for 1 day then a similar side effect started as previously me

Does anyone know about the side-effects of other statins that I might take instead ? Do some of them have less effect on bladder, or are they all problematic. I'm doing my part: I do not eat or drink for at least 2.5 hours before bed, I avoid alcohol, tea, and coffee. Any advice gratefully welcomed -- my cardiologist only cares about my heart, not concerned about my bladder and sleeping .... Thanks !

I just started on Zohydro ER because the idea of not taking acetaminophen with hydrocodone was tempting. (There's a Black Box warning about the acetaminophen in Vicodin). The first day I started the Z. (about 5 days ago) I got less pain relief and much more pain than I had with 5/375 Vicodin! That's seems totally wrong but it happened. The dose of the Z is the same as I got for the number of 5/375s I took per day. Anyone else on Z. and how do you like it? Any side effects?
