Have you tried other statins besides lipitor?



According to the sources provided, there are several other statins available besides Lipitor (atorvastatin). Statins are a class of drugs that lower cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Some other statins that are commonly prescribed include:

- Crestor (rosuvastatin)
- Zocor (simvastatin)
- Pravachol (pravastatin)
- Lescol (fluvastatin)
- Mevacor (lovastatin)

It is important to note that while these medications are all in the same class of drugs, they may have different effects on cholesterol levels and different side effects. Therefore, it is important to discuss with a healthcare provider which statin may be most appropriate for an individual's specific needs and medical history.
