Dose-dependent atorvastatin associated with angioedema

CONCLUSION: While atorvastatin use is not commonly associated with angioedema, the prescriber should be mindful of this possible adverse effect, especially when increasing the dose, or when prescribing together with medications known to cause angioedema (e.g., angiotensin II receptor blockers and calcium channel blockers), which may increase the risk of this adverse event.PMID:34779391 | DOI:10.5414/CP204025
