Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your queries and will try to answer them.
1. Razel F 20 and stator F are efficient on lowering and stabilising your lipid profiles, however Stator F has a larger dose and is more efficient.
2. Shaky and giddiness is a common side effects of statins (Razel F and Stator F).
3. You should stop alcohol if you want to stabilize your lipid profiles, however you can drink only a glass of vine per day.
4. You should eat Stator F at nigh before sleep.
5. Stator F may cause liver damage and is manifested with high transaminases levels on blood.
6. There's no data on the concomitant use of Kellanelli with statins (Stator F), however my advice is to avoid taking it because interaction may occur.
7. You should repeat LFT one month after treatment to see any improvement.
Hope this answers were of help.
Wish you health!
