General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Evion contains Vitamin E and what has been prescribed by doctor has to be taken for your vitiligo.
But looking at the Total Cholesterol levels, it is quite high, though LDL is within normal limits.
Atorvastatin is the drug which is used to bring down raised cholesterol levels and keeps your cholesterol under check. It can be taken with Evion, which you are taking at night.
But it is always better to consult Physician before you start the medication so that the dose and duration can be advised and monitored.
Hope the information provided would be useful and help you to overcome the problems you are facing.
All the best.
