Liprimar and Atorvastatin, the choice of drug

These medicines do not have significant differences, therefore, they can replace each other, having previously agreed with the attending physician. One of the differences is the country of origin. Liprimar is the original drug of American manufacture, and Atorvastatin is domestic. In this regard, they have different costs.

The price of the original is 7-8 times more expensive and amounts to 700-2300 rubles, the average cost of Atorvastatin is 100-600 rubles. Therefore, in this case, the domestic medicine wins.

Despite the fact that they contain the same active ingredient, Liprimar is still considered more effective, since it is an original medicine. The domestic analogue in this is slightly inferior to him and has more negative consequences on the body, as evidenced by patient reviews. In addition, Liprimar is used with caution by pediatrics. It is the only cholesterol-lowering medication that can be used to treat children from the age of eight. Unlike Atorvastatin, it does not affect the growth of the body and the process of puberty in children.

The duration of treatment with Atorvastatin lasts longer, which is a significant minus, since the risk of unwanted adverse reactions increases. There are also differences in the number of dosages available. Liprimar is available in four dosage forms, and Atorvastatin in three.

They can be used in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus of the first or second type. But do not forget that their active component is able to change blood glucose, so treatment should be carried out under the strict supervision of a doctor. Due to the fact that Atorvastatin tablets are film-coated, such a tool will be most preferred for people with this pathology. Since the shell reduces the risk of some negative consequences.
