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.

A statin medication can be prescribed to lower cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Other medication can be used as a blood thinner along with them.
If still in doubt, you may discuss your complete medical history over a call to get a right and effective medical advice.
Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user,
atorvastatin is generic name, and atorva 20 is brand name. Try finding a brand name, it usually is different for different pharma companies. I am sure, you can find your alternative brand name in cheaper cost.

Consult your cardiologist who'll give detailed instructions regarding stopping n restarting of your certain daily medicines before n after surgery. Additionally you'll b given antibiotics too. However oral prophylaxis is mandatory before you undergo cardiac surgeries. Take cardiologist written consent before you visit dentist for any dental procedures. Regards.

Stop clopidogrel after discussing with your Dr. Two blood thinners are required for about one year of stent. They can usually be reduced to aspirin alone after that. Atorva 20 can be reduced too, but better to do so 12 weeks after improving diet. Traditional balanced diet is healthier for heart than restricted modern diet. Beat wishes.
