Lipitor vs Simvastatin

Written by

After 2 months of taking simvastatin as a "GENERIC" OF LIPITOR my cholesterol level increased by 18 points. Even worse my triglyceride level increased by 50 points. I'm switching back to lipitor even though it is more expensive.

What are the dosages? My doctor would prescribe 40mg Simvastatin vs 10 mg Lipitor.

Simvastatin is a generic of Zocor. Lipitor is not available in generic. Therefore, if you were switched to simvastatin by your doctor, it may have been because your insurance company would no longer cover Lipitor any longer - because generic Zocor (simvastatin) is a GREAT DEAL cheaper.
