Should i take this medicine for life or is it something to be used for some few months? ## Hi caty, Actually this is a good dyslipidaemic agent.. Take control in your diet. and you can stop this tablet, or else u have to take it life long.. ## I have high cholesterol and my doctor prescribed Lipitor.

I have been taking Lipicure 10 for a month now to lower my cholesterol. It was 265 and now its 180. Is it advisable to discontinue the medication as my cholesterol levels are back in the normal? ## Have you also made changes to your diet to help lower your cholesterol and are you making sure that you're getting enough exercise? Learn more Atorvastatin details here. The reason I am asking is because if the medication is solely what has brought down your cholesterol numbers, then it can just as easily start going back up, if you stop taking it. However, if you've made other lifestyle adjustments then it may stay down. What does your doctor think? ## I had made changes in my diet earlier and even used to exercise but not that was irregular due to work constraints. I'm keeping t...

I have been taking atorvastatin 20mg and metfomin for the last 3 weeks. I feel some sort of dizziness almost every day. but not severe. Also I like to eat some grape fruit m maybe 3 - 5 full fruit . I have seen many articles on net say grape fruit will interact with atorvastatin when taken in juice form more than 1 liter a day. I dont know how to determine on this intake. I jst like to eat some grape fruits only. Can you please advise..

Found on floor of my vanity room. It's approx 3/4 of inch long with ATV40 on one side and APO on the other side. Hope it's not dangerous as I have small grandchildren in my home. ## This tablet is manufactured by Apotex Corp. and they list it as containing 40mgs of Atorvastatin, which is used to help lower cholesterol levels. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches. It would be best to sweep up and make sure no others are scattered about, as it could be too much for a small child. Is there anything else I can help with?

Found 1/2 blue pill coated (white inside) imprinted with "10" on one side. It's more of an elliptical shape than oval. ## Oddly enough I found a white, elliptical, film-coated tablet imprinted with "10" that's identified as Atorvastatin 10mg; a medication used for lowering cholesterol. I wonder if the manufacturer could've changed its color to blue at some point? As we know, manufacturers can alter the appearance of their drugs without any prior notice to the public, so this is something I'd consider investigating just to be sure. Unfortunately I haven't been able to determine who the manufacturer is. However I will be sure to post back if or when I do. Also, could there possibly be other numbers on the tablet since you only located half of it? If so,...

I have run out of my prescription for Atorvastatin and had decided to start eating healthier and excercising.

Several of the medications that you're taking carry the risk of causing gastritis, so that could be what's cau...
