Good morning, I have been taking Atoris for 2 weeks to lower cholesterol. I had an undesirable symptom for the second time, which is numbness of the feet. Should I stop taking the medicine?

If the side effect does not prevent daily functioning or does not pose a threat to health, then you should not stop the drug yourself. Numbness in the feet may pass with the time of use of the drug and probably does not pose a serious threat either. It is worth mentioning the occurrence of such an action to the doctor at the next visit.
