Atorva 80 MG Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 51 years old from Durgapur

I am 52. My cholesterol level went 272 when doctor prescribed atorva10. Is it worth taking any medicine at such level of cholesterol. After using atorva it came down to 172 over a period of time. Should I stop taking atorva or any other medicine for cholesterol.

The cholesterol level is normally below 200 and as you have a higher level, the atorva 10 mg is needed

Yes you can combine, but COQ is not a medically proven chemical. Try not to be on long term medicines for preventive health, it is quite a fashion but probably dangerous.
