Hi, as such there is no direct co relation of kidney pain with lovastatin which is mainly metabolized through liver. What are the other drugs you are on? Main side effects of lovastatin are myopathy and liver disorder. For more information visit http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/lovastat_ad.htm
Wait for blood reports, need to assess kidney function. Also get ultrasound done to rule out any pathology of urinary tract.
The interaction has also been reported in patients receiving atorvastatin, lovastatin, or simvastatin with other potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as azole antifungal agents, macrolide antibiotics, HIV protease inhibitors, and nefazodone. Clinically, high levels of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity in plasma may be associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal toxicity.
I'm currently taking Lovastatin and Lovaza for high triglycerides and low LDL levels due to a fatty liver. This past December I pulled a muscle in my back which turned into a muscle spasm. I was prescribed Diclofenac SO EC 50 mg, Skelaxin 800 mg, Tramadol HCL 50 mg. Two days after taking my medications I had a bad reaction with a 103 degree temperature.
I am unable to lay on either side due to the pain. It is a pain that radiates. It starts out as a low achiness, builds to a low pain, builds to a major pain and then subsides. This happens when I lay on either side. When I turn over to the opposite side it begins to subdside in time with the other side to start. Needless to say it makes sleeping difficult since I'm not a back sleeper. If I sleep on my belly I have to make sure neither outside thigh is being laid on.

i didn t check the images on this article previously, fig 2 has very interesting data, it shows a decrease of hbsag to 60% by lovastatin i guess using the higest non toxic dose
lovastatin decreases only hbsag (no effect on hbvdna) by decreasing cholesterol content of hbsag infectivity of hbv is impared by fusion interference
Hi, I have same problem with good diet I have total 265, and LDL 196 my doctor prescribe me Lovastatin reduce the risk of heart attack, blood vessel blockage or chest pain. When i took lipitor my cholesterol went up Also I take turmeric, garlic,avoid stress.

this is an artcle showing hbsag secretion inibition by lovastatin, it was the natural type not the synth like lovastatin in red yeast rice
it is an oold article and there has been no followup studies, today we have also the liposomes studies and simvastatin studies but again in vitro only.the only way to know how it works in vivo is try red yest rice or liposomes and measure hbsag because no drug makers are interested in making trials on this

I went back to my dr today to get my lab tests...i wish i had got a copy...i dont understand cholesterol issues,but anyways one of my numbers was low(im thinking good cholesterol)not sure though it was 35...one was ok...maybe it was the combination but he put me on simvastatin..im scared to take it.im on meds for thyroid and hormones,plus on a antibotic right now.......can any one tell me anything about this med?

Hello,
I am not entirely sure what you meant by "Will me actor help me it says it's the cure for nf1"... Based on your follow-up comment, I guess you are assuming that you have Type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) and Mevacor medication can help you...? I don't have any experience with Mevacor (Lovastatin) in my clinical practice, but read some studies about positive effect of Mevacor re verbal and non-verbal LD in children with NF1.

good article about the use of fluvastatin with hcv, as regards hbv simvastatin and lovastatin are the only statins i have seen studied on hbv (among the two sim at 80mg has the strongest effect)
In each experiment, PERL treatment was more effective than lovastatin and therefore may be better suited for in vivo antiviral therapy. Furthermore, the potential use of PERLs for in vivo treatment of viral infections, as well as the frequent coinfections with the viruses tested here, eventually should include the encapsulation of other antiviral therapies, leading to enhanced treatment efficacy.
However, my ck has been in the 400-600 range even before taking statins. I am now on lovastatin--since 7 Jul--after stopping zorcor for 7 years. I do suffer from some neuropathy from a corpectomy, and some muscle weakness, I guess with age (70). Still, I don't understand ck/cpk enough to know why I continue the levels I experience. Never knew about the different ck enzymes;however, I have been tested at least for the heart ( as guess brain) with no known affects.
You don't say what your LDL lipid levels are? however your total cholesterol level isn't too bad.
Your HDL is a bit on the low side but there are ways to boost this and exercise is one way.
Your triglycerides are very high. Do you have a lot of sugar in your diet?
I'm not sure if you need statins, but there are medications to lower trigs which I believe are called fibrates and these also raise HDL.
