If there was such a post it was wrong. 10 mg is strong.

It was strong enough to disable my husband for much of the 4 years of taking
it, and for 3 years and counting thereafter.

At the time it came out it was several times stronger, at 10mg, than the
common dosages of the other preexisting statins.

I can?t remember where , but wasn?t there a post here essentially
stating that there was no difference between Lipitor 10 MG and a
placebo?

Was of import to me but I lost the info anyway. 10 vs. 20 MG seems
small to a guy that went from 80 to 40 and is shooting for 20. If you
get my drift. I break 80 into 40. Then again I?m at risk.

I've been splitting 80 mg. Lipitor into 20 mgs for years. Saves a lot of money. Crestor seems less expensive but I noted at least one webRx says "Crestor cannot be split." Is that true? Why? Ideally I would buy the 40mg and split to 10 mg or is that not physicaly possible? How large are the 20 mg and 40 mg tablets? Thank you. Signature Remove -NOSPAM- to contact me.
