BUY LIPITOR

Lipitor is applied with definite diet for lowering cholesterol and fats (triglycerides) in the blood. The remedy is usually applied if non-drug ways of cholesterol level lowering (e.g., increase in exercise, diet change, weight loss if overweight) were not enough successful. Reducing cholesterol level may help to prevent heart attack. Lipitor is used in adults and children (10 years of age and older). Young girls must have had their first menstrual period before starting this medication. The medication belongs to enzyme blockers (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor), also known as a "statin".

HOW TO USE LIPITOR:

It is an oral medication. It is recommended to take lipitor with or without food or as prescribed by your doctor. This drug is best taken in the evening. Dosage depends on your medical condition, response to therapy, and use of certain interacting medicines. Ask your doctor for more information. As far as grapefruit may increases level of some medications in your bloodstream, try to avoid taking them when you treat with the remedy. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. If you also take certain other drugs to lower your cholesterol (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take lipitor at least 2 hours after these medications. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use lipitor at the same time each day. About 4 weeks may pass before you feel the full effect of the medication. As far as most people with high cholesterol level feel fine, it is important to continue taking lipitor even if you feeling ok.

You may experience stomach/abdominal pain, headache, diarrhea, or joint pain may occur. Inform your doctor immediately in the case of worsening or persisting any of the lipitor side effects. This drug may infrequently cause muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness (which can rarely lead to a very serious condition called rhabdomyolysis). Seek immediate medical attention if you develop these muscle problems (especially with fever or unusual tiredness). If you experience such unusual but serious lipitor side effects as severe stomach/abdominal pain, persistent nausea, yellowing eyes and skin, dark urine, severe fatigue, change in the amount of urine notify your doctor immediately. If you experience serious allergic reaction ask for medical help. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: severe dizziness, rash, itching, swelling, trouble breathing. Don't forget that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious lipitor side effects. Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you experience some not listed side effects.

Your doctor or pharmacist must know your medical conditions, especially if you have such problems as active liver disease, diabetes (poorly controlled), heart disease, history of liver disease, kidney disease, underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), alcohol use. The rare development of severe muscle damage can infrequently lead to serious kidney problems. If you have conditions, which may increase risk of heart diseases, it is recommended to stop taking them. If you have such conditions as major surgery, trauma, serious illness (e.g., sepsis, severe metabolic/endocrine/electrolyte disorders), very low blood pressure, uncontrolled seizures notify your doctor before stopping the remedy. Limit alcohol, because it may result in serious side effects. Don't forget that older people are more sensitive to the side effects, especially muscle damage. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or you are planning pregnancy, because the remedy is forbidden during pregnancy. It is recommended that young girls and women of child-bearing age use effective birth control measures to prevent pregnancy while taking this drug since lipitor may cause harm to an unborn baby.
