Hi. I am starting a statin. One dr wants Crestor my transplant coordinator said Lipitor is better. Does anyone recommend one over another. Sorry, not sure og generic names. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

@beracha, My input to you, is the same as I would give anyone with an organ transplant. It is what I have done for nearly 15 years and that - is to listen to your transplant coordinator who is relaying the advice of your transplant doctor(s). My local doctor is more than happy to comply with my Mayo transplant team.
I am a liver/kidney recipient. My transplant team also wanted me to take Lipitor instead of Crestor. I take the generic version, Atorvastatin. It works well for me.

@beracha, I see that you joined Connect, yesterday! Happy New Year and Welcome to Connect❤️
