Side Effects

Warnings and Precautions
Avoid in active liver disease and limit alcohol; tell your doctor about muscle pain or weakness. Tell your doctor about your full medical history, allergies and any other medicines or supplements you take. No. Statins are not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
