What Are The Adverse Effects Of Shifting From Pravastatin To Atorvastatin?
Dear Ed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using our service. All the generics drugs have been evaluated to have the same effect that the brand name. When you compare two generics drugs as Atorvastatin and simvastatin, they also have the same effect .However, some insurances get better prices from pharmaceutical companies making generics and that is why they create a preferred formulary of drugs,sometimes they include Atorvastatin or any other Statin that has a generic. Do not worry because one is cheaper than other, they will do the same effect.Hoever, patients can have less side effects with one particular type of drug from the same class and that is a reason to change to the most tolerable drug.
I hope I was able to answer your concern,
