✅ What You Should Do Next
Confirm which Altrip your doctor prescribed: Migraine (almotriptan) or cholesterol control (atorvastatin)?
Use only under medical advice, following the prescribed dose and duration.
Be aware of contraindications (e.g. heart/liver issues, SSRIs) and side effects.
Don’t combine doses—each tablet contains entirely different medications, so don't take them both without your provider’s approval.
Let me know if you need more details—like where it’s available locally in Bangladesh, typical prices, or advice on managing side effects!
