I'm taking Atorvastatin 20mg and I'm suffering from very painful flatulence. Looking at all my drugs I'm taking (Eplerenone, Dapagliflozin, Entresto, laprozole, bisoprolol) the statin is the only one which states it may cause wind. Does anybody else have this and have you identified which medicine may be the cause please? Thank you.
