Can I Take Metformin And Lipitor When Suffering From High Cholesterol And Fatty Liver?
My doctor just prescribed metformin and Lipitor for me yesterday. I don t know the side effects of either of them. I was told that my glucose level was slightly elevated and I have a fatty liver, possibly from my cholesterol being high. I do drink a glass of wine about 5 days a week. Will this affect my usage of these drugs??

I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have problem of fatty liver , firsty you should avoid fatty oily food , dont take spicy food , dont drink alcohol, it is much harmful for your health as you have fatty liver
As you are asking about medications , yes if you take alcohol it an harm also.
Hope this will help you.
