Brief Answer:
Kindly refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello There
After going through your medical details and attached reports I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your Ayurvedic meds are not controlling your cholesterol well so you May require to start statins again to maintain healthy cholesterol profile.
Some people experiences muscle pains as statins rarely cause skeletal muscle breakdown but there is always a option to decrease the dose if you are facing such symptoms . If your are experiencing muscle pains with Rozavel F then you can take only Rozavel as fenofibrates can cause skeletal muscle tissue breakdown which might be a cause of your symptoms.
Kindly consult your treating physician to put you on another effective statins if Rozavel also gives you muscle pain.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
