What should I do if I get muscle pain or other side effects?

Tell your doctor if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, or if any side effect bothers you or does not go away. Do not stop or change the treatment on your own. Seek medical help at once if you feel severely unwell.

What if I miss a dose?

Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. Follow the pack leaflet or ask your doctor what to do next.

Can I take other medicines with Plistin EZ 20?

Our Rosuvastatin and Fenofibrate tablets are a different combination and should be used only if your doctor advises it.
