Common Questions and Answers about Lovastatin oyster mushrooms

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.
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.

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
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 live in southern Ohio and this time ofyear morel mushrooms are a delicacy. My wife read that wild mushrooms were nottoeaten by people with liver disease. Does anyone no if this is true , if sono mushrooms. I do eat mushrooms that are grown, like you get in the produce area of
Kroger's . Let me know if anyone has any knowledgeof this.
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 usually wake up around 5am from the nausea so I pop an oyster cracker and a Tums. Then I try alternately sip the different drinks till one helps. Good luck!
The Oyster mushroom is the basis of first statin which is known to be a natural anti-inflammatory drug.
Starting a year ago, I noticed that my throat began hurting about 5-10 minutes after eating mushrooms, and hurt intermittently after eating the mushrooms (baby portabella mushrooms). I didn't know what to make of this until I looked-up allergic reactions to mushrooms this evening, and read some pretty frightening stories about the subject, so I thought I'd ask if I'm experiencing an allergic reaction. Like I said, my throat began hurting, and I also noticed my saliva is really thick.
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
