Does Atorvastatin Have Any Alternatives, Which Do Consist Of Harmful Side Effects?
My doctor prescribed this for high cholesterol but I am unhappy about the potential side effects. I took Crestor in the past and it gave me a foggy brain. As soon as I stopped taking it the fogginess stopped. Side effects of Atorvastatin look worse. What is my alternative?

Hello,
You can opt for other statins like Simvastatin or Rosuvastatin. They may not cause fogginess.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
