Please see the web page for more details on Statin drugs. Before taking atorvastatin, tell your doctor if you have liver disease. Your doctor will probably tell you not to take Lovastatin, Fluvastatin, Pravastatin and Simvastatin.
Consult your doctor.
Reduce fat and oils in your diet. Eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet. This kind of diet includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish (not canned in oil), vegetables, poultry, egg whites, and polyunsaturated oils and margarines (corn, safflower, canola, and soybean oils). Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, lard, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.
all the statins are metabolized by the liver in pretty much the same fashion, and with the same risks; as to which one works best for you individually, is a matter of trial.for me Lipitor is the best, for my friend good old Niacin works the best, you just have to find the one that works best for you.
