I am using Lipikind 10mg and Lipicard 160mg after dinner simultaneously. Is it advisable to do so or are there any potential drug interactions between these two medications? ## They are 2 different medications. Lipikind contains the active ingredient Atorvastatin. And Lipicard contains the active ingredient Fenofibrate. And generally no, they aren't used together, because it can increase the risk of developing myopathy and other possibly dangerous side effects. Has your doctor told you to take them both? ## The doctor did not advise me on any specific details. My doctor has just asked me to switch to it.

I have heard these drugs affect liver adversely --is it true? I have been advised 20mg dose every day. Is it OK if I do not take it once in a while ## Stator contains the active ingredient Atorvastatin, which is most commonly used to help lower cholesterol. And almost all medications can have a detrimental effect on the liver, if they are used for a long period of time. Learn more Atorvastatin details here. What you should really do is discuss all the possible risks and benefits with your doctor, so you can make an informed decision as to whether or not you should take it. What are your cholesterol levels?

Colestrol ## ## I have severy problems to sleep. Can Aspavor play a role in it? How can I solve the problem? ## I've been on the following drugs:warfarin,Tritace, Plavix,Norvasc,Lipitor,Ecotrin. 2 Bypasses and 2 stents have blocked completely but collateral circulation has been established. New cardiologist has now reduced drugs to Lipitor, Norvasc and Ecotrin. Does this make sense if the full basket eliminated bypass and stent failure? ## I have been taking 10 mg Aspavor every night for the past 4 months. I broke my femur 6 months ago and was on Crestor which I was subsequently taken off. I am experiencing severe back pain - could this be related to the Aspavor?
