Common Questions and Answers about Atorvastatin magnesium
lipitor
I have been told by my doctors for years that my cholesterol is bad. I was just prescribed 20mg Atorvastatin and took my first dose last night. I got about 5 - 6 hours of sleep which isn't uncommon for me, but this stomach pain as if I'm hungry (which eating doesn't seem to help) is getting annoying. My main concern is though what im going through sounds like what Google said were side effects. Should I talk to my doctor? Considering I've only taken 1 dose.. thank you.
Is atorvastatin or pravastatin better at monitoring cholestoral? My doctor prescribed the generic pravastatin as a more afordable alternative to atorvastatin but also doubled the amount I take (from 20 mg of atorvastatin to 40 mg of pravastatin). Should I be concerned about the effectiveness of pravastatin?
It is easy to find information regarding drug-drug interactions for omeprazole (Prilosec) and atorvastatin (Lipitor). 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?
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 ?
What is the statistic probability that Atorvastatin Ca will convert itself into his enantiomer?
We believe that this conversion is improbable for 2 reasons
First it requires breaking bonds in two different chiral sites in the molecule which will require substantial energy and will not happen spontaneously
Second the statistical probability that the reforming of the bond in the enantiomer in this very specific way is close to zero.
We would be appreciative to hear your opinion.
She is not alcoholically person and never drink in her live. She has heart disease and take atorvastatin for 10 years and also donepezil and ladiomil for 4 years. Since her doctor discover problem with GOT and GPT she stopped taking atorvastatin (3mounts before) because they were suspicious that atorvastatin was reason for this problem but again GOP and GPT increase.

If the atorvastatin is keeping your triglycerides down, you will need to continue taking this medication for life, UNLESS, you can get the trigs down thru diet. I assume you
tried this before being prescribed the medication.
Your trigs are currently 1.48mmol/L which is below the limit required for safety (1.7).
You are only taking a very small dosage of Atorvastatin, most people are on 40mg daily.
My endocrinologist prescribed me Atorvastatin 40mg in place of the simvastatin but it has since given my major chest pain and muscle weakness in my fingers and legs; so I was advised by the pharmacist to stop that and I have only taken the new statin twice and tonight was the second time taking it.
Is simvastatin something that can be eased up to a higher dose to do the exact same thing atorvastatin does for the bad cholesterol?
My mother has been put on Atorvastatin and within one week she has had extreme confusion and forgetfulness. This has been the only medical change. Is this a side effect from it and can they show up this quickly?
He prescribed Atorvastatin in addition to vitamins but I did a small research about Atorvastatin and find out there are some contradictions about usefulness of Atorvastatin. Of course the contradiction relates to use of Atorvastatin in combination of interferons and he prescribed Atorvastatin in combination with vitamins but I have not decided whether I use it or not.

57 Male never on medication and gym rat. I have been on Atorvastatin 40mg since middle of March. It was prescribed by my cardiologist for slightly high cholesterol level 225. Along with BP Med Losartan 50mg.
All of this started when I wasn't feeling very well one day in February and went to outpatient clinic. Since then I've had a heart monitor, CT scan of heart and angiogram. All normal except angiogram showed one 70% blockage.
Make sure you have enough magnesium, potassium, and calcium in your diet. These reduce the effects of salt. Magnesium dilates, or widens,
blood vessels. Calcium and magnesium are best when taken together. Be careful, because too much potassium can be lethal to your kidneys.
Talk with your doctor about taking them! If you're over weight get down to your ideal weight! Exercise is crucial!! Stay away from stimulants like coffee, tea, sodas, alcohol, and cigarettes.
Ive has pacs/pvcs for over a year! All tests have came back completely normal. Had 2 echoes and several ecg's. My blood work was normal. My magnesium was 1.9, which I know is in the normal range. But, I have read alot about magnesium benefiting people with heart palpitations. So my question is, do you think 1.9 is on the low end and would I benefit from taking magnesium supplements?
Has anyone had a magnesium sulfate drip before? What were your side effects? And did it successfully slow your labour? or manage your blood pressure?
Keep in mind that vitamins & minerals are important for kitty, but what's most important is that you get them in the right ratios. Calcium and phosphorus without enough vitamin D, for example, will produce bone abnormalities.
Magnesium is probably the mineral of the most concern in cat nutrition for owners, and especially to owners of male cats because of its role in the formation of struvite uroliths (magnesium ammonium phosphate). However, magnesium is not a "bad guy".
I am wondering on how worthwhile it would be to take magnesium (and any other) supplements to help combat my mild cardiomyopathy. If yes, how much and what kind? I have a 1 to 2 centimeter area of hypokinesis in left ventricle and very mild hypokinesis in right ventricle. LVEF - 45-50%. I have NSVT, inducable Sustained VT and V-Fib, as well as A-Fib. I do have an ICD. I take Coreg and Lisinopril. I am 34 years old. Thanks for your time and advice!
