What is the best to take? rosuvastatin or atorvastatin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Statin: the statin drugs do the same thing, they have a different milligram for milligram potency. Rosuva is more potent milligram for milligram than atorva. Your doctor can advise you which is appropriate for you. There are other factors such as side effects to consider also.
