Hi

All patients who have a high risk of developing a future heart attack need to be taking a medicine like atorvastatin to prevent a heart attack. Besides this Atorvastatin will also reduce cholesterol.

In some patients cholesterol is high inspite of taking atorvastatin maximum dose. In such patients drugs like storfib are given which contains another medicine called fenofibrate along with atorvastatin.

Do you have high cholesterol? How is your LDL & HDL cholesterol? If your cholesterol is normal, then you can continue taking only atorvastatin. The period is usually indefinite once the age is above 50 years.
