Question:
What is the difference between the two? With all the bad stuff about lipitor what is a better alternative?
Answer:
What "bad stuff"? Lipitor has a long track record of safety. As do all of the statins.
Lipitor and other statins lower total cholesterol and LDL (the 'bad' cholesterol). Unfortunately, options for raising HDL (the 'good' stuff) are limited to Niaspan.
I've been on high dose Niaspan (2 gm/night) and Zocor (similar to Lipitor). NO side effects. My liver is as good as it was 10 years ago. No muscle aches. Just good lipid results.
