Duration of treatment with atorvastatin is unlikely to increase the risk of muscle-related side effects as most occur within the first year of treatment, after which the risk is not increased further. [64] The known cardiovascular benefits of atorvastatin over time outweigh the low risk of muscle-related side effects. [65] [64]
Muscle pain and other symptoms often cause patients to stop taking a statin. [88] This is known as statin intolerance. A 2021 double-blind multiple crossover randomized controlled trial (RCT) in statin-intolerant patients found that adverse effects, including muscle pain, were similar between atorvastatin and placebo. [89]
Ezetimibe/atorvastatin (trade names Liptruzet, Atozet) is a cholesterol lowering combination drug. In the United States, it was approved in May 2013, by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in patients with primary or mixed hyperlipidemia as adjunctive therapy to diet.

Dizziness (including vertigo and motion sickness-related symptoms) Extrapyramidal symptoms, a potential side-effect of antipsychotic medications; Gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., peptic ulcers, diarrhea, pyloro spasm, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, nausea, and vomiting) Genitourinary disorders (e.g., cystitis, urethritis, and prostatitis)
While there have been concerns about side-effects associated with statins (myopathy and rhabdomyolysis), these were rare in this study. [ citation needed ] The number needed to treat in the study was 57 to postpone one death and 19 to prevent one cardiovascular "event" (in those taking the drug simvastatin for 5 years).
The main symptoms are severe vertigo and nystagmus. The most common symptom of vestibular neuritis is the onset of vertigo that has formed from an ongoing infection or trauma. [9] The dizziness sensation that is associated with vertigo is thought to be from the inner ear labyrinth. [10]
As mentioned, Cialis can interact with other PDE5 inhibitors for ED, as well as medications prescribed to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), fungal infections, heart disease, heart failure ...
Rarely (<0.1% of patients), hypersensitivity reactions (rash, angioedema) or myopathy may occur. [3] Cases of muscle problems (myalgia and rhabdomyolysis) have been reported and are included as warnings on the label for ezetimibe. [3] Since NPC1L1 also regulates vitamin K uptake, the use of ezetimibe can lead to side effects in warfarin therapy ...
