As a result, it decreases harmful cholesterol like LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of HDL (good cholesterol). Some people may experience nausea, chest pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, drowsiness, muscle pain, redness/swelling in the legs and increased liver enzymes. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
