Before Lipitor went generic I was getting the generic from Canada. Cheaper than my copayments plus, if you buy in quantity (100 of more pills), the pharmacy ships free.

If you’re interested, I’ll give you the link.

That would be great and I have noticed that the cheapest prices are Canada, but I thought it was illegal to purchase from their. Do you use a credit card?

Atorvastatin’s improvement in efficacy over simvastatin is slight. I wouldn’t pay much more for it.

Same here for the Canada don’t think that generic has made it onto anyone’s $4 list yet. Or get your doc to give you another statin that is on one of the $4 list or $10 for 3 months that seem to be the rage now. All 4 of my BP meds are on the Walgreens list only 3 of them on everybody elses.

Cut sugar out of your diet and you won’t need statins.

Statins damage your liver and deplete your coenzyme Q10 levels. Please get your liver enzymes checked every 3 months.

I’m with the “get a Rx for a cheaper statin” crowd. Buying medication out-of-country is a crapshoot at best. You may get the medicine, you may get pressed cornstarch, or you may get something worse. Much worse.

i hate statins. i have heart disease in the family so a reading of 241 was a concern to my doctor, who is a trained lipotologist, in the past year, with exercise, losing 20 pounds, watching my diet but not fanatically so and taking 2000mg of niacin every night (from a place in oregon) and 2 red rice yeast capsules. it is at 183.

any truth to the claim that lipitor degrades mental function. if so is there an alternative that doesn’t do that.

Here’s a link with some information I believe is important to know. It isn’t the only source out there so you don’t have to rely only on this one.

Cut and paste the link for Northwest Pharmacy in Canada into your browser

http://www.northwestpharmacy.com/Default.aspx?mid=e8875f1e7cd04082ba661bbf31fadb61

Some of the mail order companies are “more than a little bit shady.” I have used Northwest for 3 years. Their ethical standards are excellent. Although I have Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance on some items it is much cheaper to order them from Northwest and simply pay for the drug. Northwest uses only high quality generic drugs supplied from only reputable drug manufacturers.

Statins have terrible side effects and lowering cholesterol has proven to be of little, if any, benefit......http://www.naturalnews.com/z035249_hardening_of_the_arteries_cranberries_remedies.html
