Is It Safe To Take 10mg Of Lipitor?
Hi. I am a 62 year old female. My LDL cholestroel is 234. My MD is having me take 10mg of Lipitor. I m a little nervous taking any drugs and, after reading the possible side effects, even more so. Is 10mg pretty safe? I am in pretty good health otherwise and am not on any other drugs. Just take Vitamin C, L-Lysine and Cholestoff. Thanks

Hello welcome to Health Care Magic I have gone through your history . 10 mg is the minimum dose of anti lipid tablet which you need to start as per your lipid reports. It is completely safe. If you don't start tablets now you may have to go for bypass surgery in the future. so it is highly recommended remind me to take tablets according to your doctor have prescribed .I hope it will help have a nice day.
