Comment:
Well, had to stop taking medication. Made my legs ache. The pain I had with other medication(s) was my upper/arm limbs and this medication bothers my lower limbs. Can't win for losing.

I have taken 6 other medications for high cholesterol had muscle pain and weakness with all of them. I have been on the Livalo little over 2 months and have had no muscle problems and my total LDL went down 36 points HDL came up 2 points triglycerides down 24 ponts. So far I'm very satisfied with this medication.
