A member asked:

Doc rxd crestor, took me off lipitor after new lamisil scrip. curious as to why. lipid #s great with lip. one better on liver perhaps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps?: No drug-drug intereactions between lamisil and crestor and also between lamisil and lipitor. My guess would be to prevent liver damage by using lipitor long time, your doctor took you off from lipitor.
