What Are The Side Effects Of Prilosec And Lipitor?
I m prescribes prilosec and lipotor, both in generic form. I ve been taking both for 3 years. I have a stuttering or voicebox problem that has been increasing in severity over the last month. I stopped taking the lipotor a week ago and the stuttering has almost completely stopped. I noticed mention on another siteof voicebox side effects with Prilosec, no mention of these problems with Lipotor. Any ideas?
