Hello, Thanks for the query. Usually atorvastatin does not cause any hyperacidity or such related symptoms. But if you are experiencing increased acidity then you may take pentaprazol as mentioned. Thanks

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.

Many ayurvedic medicines are not standardized.
So don't take the ayurvedic medicine.
Show to a surgeon also and follow his advice.

For lowering LDL and total cholesterol which is more effective between atorvastatin and simvastatin?
Atorvas is a little more effective for controlling LDL and simvastatin is little more effective in increasing HDL.

lybrate-user, Lipicure tablet is given in a person who has increased lipid level (cholesterol) particularly total cholesterol, LDL & Triglycerides. In a person with diabetes most often there dyslipidemia (increased lipids). Therefore such a tablet is given. Fenofibrate is more often used when triglycerides are increased. Thanks.
