Avatar m tn After recent cath my doctor changed my medication from vytorin ,have taken vytorin for 5 years, to lovastatin. I did ask for a cheaper medicine and lovastatin was what he came with. I have no problems or side effects . My question is lovastatin less effective then other of the same and if not why is it not used often. My engineering background comes out if I d not have proper data.
Avatar f tn I've been taking Lovastatin for 2 months. For the past couple of weeks I've been experiencing aching kidneys and I'm very tired. I had blood work done today for follow up of the drug and notified the doctor that I had this problem. My body temperature is 96.8, which I realize is a bit low, but perhaps normal? Could the achiness be due to the Lovastatin? I'm quite concerned about this and have had kidney problems as a child.
Avatar f tn I found this article Vinegar is made from the oxidation of ethanol in wine, cider, beer, fermented fruit juice, or nearly any other liquid containing alcohol. Commercial vinegar is produced either by fast or slow fermentation processes. Slow methods are generally used with traditional vinegars and fermentation proceeds slowly over the course of weeks or months.
1817071 tn?1366228243 Hi, I took Lovastatin 10 mg. for 8 yrs. with no problem. Last Sept. Cardio Dr. wanted my HDL higher. He prescribed Pravastatin 20mg. After taking the Pravastatin for 3 mos. I noticed muscle fatigue and discomfort. I do a Sr. Aerobics class and use 3 lb weights. In the past, I used 5 lbs with no aftereffects. I ache all the time now. Last month, I asked my PCP to prescribe Lovastatin again, since after 6 mos.
Avatar n tn Lipitor (atorvastatin), Lescol (fluvastatin), Mevacor (lovastatin), Altoprev (lovastatin extended-release), Livalo (pitavastatin), Pravachol (pravastatin), Crestor (rosuvastatin), and Zocor (simvastatin). Combination products include: Advicor (lovastatin/niacin extended-release), Simcor (simvastatin/niacin extended-release), and Vytorin (simvastatin/ezetimibe). The new labels will warn patients about: Memory loss and mental confusion.
Avatar f tn However, did not return after I stopped the o l e. Just guessing, but yeast causes fermentation (little critters called fermens do their life's work, which causes fermentation), which causes bubbles to rise in booze, bread, in warm water in a cup. If you find out for sure, let us know!
Avatar m tn gov/pmc/articles/PMC2951407/ 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
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn In such an individual, the lactose passes into the small intestine undigested where bacteria begin to break it down via fermentation. Fermentation produces an excess amount of gas which causes bloating and abdominal cramps. This is not an uncommon occurence. Most mammals only produce lactase during infancy in order to digest the mother's milk. In short, mammals weren't intended to produce lactase throughout adulthood.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn I’m not very experienced, but my understanding to this case is that gas is generated by some fermentation process happened in small intestine by some microbial communities, I’m thinking if a stool culture in vitro will help to understand which type of bacteria is generating gas, but I don’t know if I can isolate them since they will mix with microbial communities in colon in stool sample.
Avatar f tn Hello, All wines contain sulfites, because yeast naturally produces sulfite compounds during the fermentation process, and without sulfites, wine would spoil and oxidize. White wine has more sulfites than red wine. Foods may legally contain sulfites at levels ranging from 6 to 6,000 parts per million. The legal maximum for wine is 350 ppm, but the average content in premium wine is under 40 ppm. Inexpensive wines generally have higher sulfur content than expensive wines.
Avatar n tn t a sulphur allergy as such (usually characterised by nausea, diarrhoea, asthma or respiratory symptoms, headaches, itchy eyes) but the fermentation of certain foods in your large instestine that creates a reflux of sulphur gas. The foods that cause this usually contain a certain amount of insoluble (non digestible) fibre such as legumes (eg lentils), cellulose (outer part of fruit and vegetables) and the starch or fructan content in grains, fruit and vegetables.
Avatar m tn However, more exotic compounds can be produced by fermentation, such as butyric acid and acetone. Yeast carries out fermentation in the production of ethanol in beers, wines and other alcoholic drinks, along with the production of large quantities of carbon dioxide. You thought I was about done with this review, didn't you?
Avatar m tn 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 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?
Avatar m tn ( i was no longer stressed as much) The only real issue i had in 2012 is that at some point because i had eaten a few fermented lemons with sugar i had a incredible mass of gas and fermentation form and give me nearly insufferable pains and when i eliminated it i found some blood and mucous in the toilet but i didn't pay it any mind since well i had not felt that kind of pain in my life, i thought that the situation explained itself.
Avatar f tn -) But you must mean different or worse than normal. When I had an intestinal infection a few years ago, my gas and stools were pretty disgusting.
599170 tn?1300973893 statin without the side effects, in fact, it is the same as lovastatin, but it has not been ruined by running it through a lab and changing its chemical structure. The company, Thorne, in my opinion is the best.
Avatar m tn When you have SIBO, candida or other pathogenic bacteria in the gut, fermentation can occur with the release of alcohol and other toxic elements. There may be other symptoms caused by it directly and indirectly: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3099351/ To check if the problem is in the fermentation, exclude carbohydrates from the diet for one day and watch your condition after eating. Another reason may be a reaction to histamine which is often accompanied by SIBO.
Avatar n tn 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. May you explain what is stains affect liver? perhaps I have same problem doctor do not say me nothing about causes of h. cholesterol.
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar n tn Cut out anything yeast based, or that has/ had a fermentation process. Cheeses like blue cheese, camenbert, brie etc. Bread, pasta, alcohol... increase intake of yoghurt. Pref. Natural, non-sweetened. Might sound weird, but you can also use the yoghurt intra- vaginally. I'm also a sufferer and it's a terrible nuisance.
499534 tn?1328704178 s entirely possible to be sensitive to the fermentation (and even high sodium levels) in the soy sauce, the combination could be causing your irritation. Do you get a similar reaction if eating lots of vinegary things, ie pickels, vinaigrette salad dressings, or other fermented items (like mushrooms, cheese?) Could be you are sensitive to the fermentation/mold.
Avatar m tn Vinegar is an acidic liquid processed from the fermentation of ethanol in a process that yields its key ingredient, acetic acid (also called ethanoic acid). It also may come in a diluted form. The acetic acid concentration typically ranges from 4 to 8 percent by volume for table vinegar[1] (typically 5%) and higher concentrations for pickling (up to 18%) http://en.wikipedia.
