Can it act Lipitor? Back to the low efficiency of Zokora? My choice? Thank you for your reply.

Answer: Atorvastatin – one of the most effective current drugs for lowering cholesterol. Unfortunately, perhaps the relationship between intake of atorvastatin (Lipitor) and the development of weakness in the muscles (myopathy). I recommend you pass the biochemical analysis of blood to the definition of CPK. If the activity of this enzyme increased by more than 10 times, then, unfortunately, this drug you should not drink. This side effect is relatively non-hazardous (to be held after the cancellation). There is option to suspend (a month) to drink the drug, and then again to resume. In any case, you need to report suspected side effect of the doctor who prescribed you the drug.

Answer: Dear Edward, something I do not see you on the list of designated drugs beta-blockers. So many nitrates (monochinkve, plaster депонит) are useless, they can develop tolerance. I recommend you discuss with the doctor the appointment of beta-blockers (metoprolol, bisoprolol).
