Lipitor also destroyed some of my muscle structure. Doctor switched me over to Lovastatin .. and that really didn’t help at all. Both meds have the same “rare” warning.
I’d rather take the risk than choke to death when my tongue swells up.
If you take any of the statins, you should read up on CoQ10.
Some doctors recommend from 200 to 400 mg to help support the heart muscles. CoQ10 is an OTC and is available at most health food sections and stores.
