Hello everyone.
I'm from type 2
The other day the endo after checking the analytics, he prescribed a 10 mg medication for cholesterol, (which I already took before, the only thing that changed me was the laboratory) but when asking the recipes to my head doctor, also afterSeeing the analytics tells me to raise it to 20 mg.Then I don't know what to do.Who do I pay attention to the end of the head?
Thank you
If you don't tell us the medicine it will be a bit difficult to say something.
Perhaps the head doctor prescribed the same active substance in a different format that needs that dose.
Thanks for answering.
This is the same medicine and brand, the active substance is atorvastatin.
All the best
Zarator?
10 g is the initial dose, the doctor should be asked if your cholesterol values have increased and check why the diet (if there have been)+the initial dose of medication have not resulted.
Atorvastin, in addition, is usually used as a complement to prevent heart attacks/angina ... in patients like us, because it is more likely to suffer a stroke.
Keep in mind that the thresholds advised of cholesterol for diabetes patients are lower than for people without diabetes.
The LDL (the very evil) must be below 100 and the HDL above 45 .... in patients with diabetes.

Thanks again.
I consulted with the endo and told me that it was fine to raise the dose.
