What to do if i have health question i take 60 mg of pravacol for cholesterol i have a stent the heart doc.wants me to go to 80 mg?

Why not?: Do you have a problem with 80 mg? You could take a single pill and wouldn't have to break them. It costs less too. Unless there's a problem, I would say "go for it".
