Q: What is the difference between Crestor and Lipotor?

I used to take Lipotor, then my doctor emigrated and the new doctor put me on Lipotor. I am a little overweight, the training is not helping, I sometimes cant breathe, muscle ache - now I have stopped taking them and feel better already. No bloating.

 

Thanks

Chantal

Hi Chanci,

 

Both Crestor and Lipitor function to block the production of cholesterol in the body.  I recommend discussing alternative options with your physician.

 

All the best,
