Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Lipid lowering agents are safe in your case.
Since you have mentioned that you are taking TONACT 10 mg.
This means you are a patient of high cholesterol (hypercholestrolaemia).
You mentioned that after taking medicine your nerve pain increases.
In my opinion tonact is a safe drug in this regard.
Your age is 63 years and prone to many diseases so routine check up is necessary.

As far as concerned about nerve pain , please get in blood examination for diabetes and lipid profile so that exact reason of nerve pain could be established.
Till the best way is to take this medicine.
Hope I have answered your query.
If further any question I will be happy to help.
Good luck.
Dr. HET.
