I had low cholesterol level (65 %). When I started to use Mevacor, I had a variety of side effects (muscle tendon pain in the wrists, fingers, shoulders, hips, knees, hands and thighs). Lipitior is better for me because it has NO side effects (in over a decade of usage). It is because diverse effects on diverse individuals. The side effects of Mevacor were really painful for me so I stopped to use it! A year later, I started to take Lipitor (20 mg).

I tried different types of drugs which reduce levels of cholesterol in the blood. I began with Mevacor and then tested variety of other drugs. But I did not like them (first of all because of muscle aches), so I decided to use Mevacor.
