I've had a CBAG procedure back in 2006 and I'm currently on ATORVA 10 mg, but I'm wondering if it might be better for me to switch to Clopitorva A 75. Can you help me understand the differences and which might be more beneficial for my condition?

I'm wondering about my Atorvastatin prescription. I've been taking the 10 mg dose prescribed by Dr. Umashankar. When I saw you yesterday, I asked whether I should continue with it, but I'm not sure about what to do next. Also, the brand I was using isn't easily available. Could you advise on what brand I should go for and if I should keep taking it?

You can continue taking Atorvastatin 10 mg. If the previous brand is not available, you can try using Lipitor as an alternative. Take 10 mg of Lipitor once daily as prescribed by your doctor.
