Can I Take Metformin And Lipitor When Suffering From High Cholesterol And Fatty Liver?
My doctor just prescribed metformin and Lipitor for me yesterday. I don t know the side effects of either of them. I was told that my glucose level was slightly elevated and I have a fatty liver, possibly from my cholesterol being high. I do drink a glass of wine about 5 days a week. Will this affect my usage of these drugs??
