Avatar n tn However, there is also the risk of liver inflammation due to the medicine Crestor® (rosuvastatin) and it is conceivable that there could be an additive effect of Crestor® (rosuvastatin) and INH. In addition, niacin may increase the risk of muscle disease called myopathy when used with Crestor® (rosuvastatin). Crestor® (rosuvastatin) significantly increases the INR (enhances the effect of Coumadin to make your blood “thinner” than it would be alone.
Avatar m tn The authors concluded that, in apparently healthy persons with elevated C-reactive protein levels, rosuvastatin (Crestor) significantly reduced the incidence of major cardiovascular events. Their much-publicized claim, that this statin lowers the risk of heart attack by approximately one half, is technically correct though highly misleading. The reported annual incidence of coronary events was 37 people in 10,000 (controls) and 17 people in 10,000 (treated).

Avatar f tn Hi Mara, do you remember if you had a sever neck trauma one day in the past ?
1201433 tn?1328997637 I would advise you to stay on the vit D and also the vit C. I would stop the fish oil, due to the vitamin A. A hep c liver has difficult assimilating it, the same with iron. As to the tramadol, be sure your doctor knows that you are on it, in case you need to go on antidepressants. Some antidepressants don't mix with tramadol and mixing them could be fatal.
315318 tn?1353251800 It also does not relate to heart disease directly. However, it relates to a drug I take for cardio-vascular problem but the more tangible result seems to be in diabetes control. In a nutshell, it just proves that you can not treat body parts in isolation ! I am a diabetic on insulin. Recently , I was prescribed a fenofibrate (Trilipix 135 mg) along with Crestor. My cardio wanted this for helping in getting my triglycerides down.
Avatar f tn And now I find out that this whole low-fat cholesterol scare is mostly drug company hype to keep the country on their medications. Do an internet search for cholesterol scam, cholesterol myth, or something to that effect, and you'll find a world of information that contradicts everything most doctors believe. Great site- spacedoc.com for more on what statins will do to you.
Avatar f tn My cholesterol was 180 and I was given medication to reduce further. The next dr visit the chol is114, other lipid levels trig, HDL and LDL are all favorable as well. I am beginning to wonder if the risk is greater than the believed benefits from the medication, and if I can improve with a better heart healthy diet...it has never been tried nor did the doctor suggest?!
Avatar f tn The cardiologist at a private medical centre was not able to help much to control the rate, and he was prescribed Herbesser 200mg (diltiazem), Propranolol 20mg (10mg x 2), Lasix, Slow K (potassium supplement), warfarin 2mg and rosuvastatin 10mg (for cholesterol). But his condition persists. He gets breathless easily. We have heard of ways to cure Afib, one of which is ablation, and have contacted the National Heart Institute.
Avatar f tn I am 49 yr old male, non-smoker, and my score has jumped 73 points in 5 years to 126 even though I have been on 5 mg (and 10 mg the past year) of rosuvastatin over the last 5 years. My LDL was 127 a year ago. Stress test 7 years ago was fine. Any advice? Also, is this an accurate statement? A calcium score of 101-400 signifies intermediate risk of an event. The predicted 10-year chance of an event is between 13-16%.

Avatar m tn Two medicated stents were later inserted. Presently, I am regularly taking Asprin, Clopedogrel, Rosuvastatin, Atenolol and Amlodipine. My blood pressure, except for once shooting up to 170/110, remains around 125/85. I am now fully active. How this happened ? Now, I have again started having low grade pain in the left wrist and forearm, without any corresponding pain in the upper arm or the chest. Can this be a Referred Angina Pain?

Avatar f tn I am also on Lisinopril (20mg 1x), Rosuvastatin (10mg 1x), and Citalopram (20mg, 1x). In addition to prescription meds, I also take one vitamin D3 (2000 IU) daily, as well as two 650mg Acetaminophen tablets. I tend to pay a lot of attention to my liver, since I had a good friend pass away of liver cancer at an early age. I know that chalky stools can be a symptom of bile duct blockage.
Avatar f tn 3) vitamins and 4)rosuvastatin. Without telling me what it was. He even ordered a biopsy and it showed fibrosis. I took the medicine for a year and a half because I went abroad and I didn't want to damage my kidneys for something I wasn't sure. Then I did some research I go to two other doctors and they told me that I had morphea, no cure, don't know the reason why, etc. But I really want other opinions, what should I do?

Avatar f tn Crestor is a statin (rosuvastatin calcium) only, Vytorin is a statin (Simvastatin) with Zetia (ezetimibe). Statins work by controlling the production of cholesterol in your liver while Zetia works by preventing cholesterol to be absorbed in your digestive system. Of the two, Crestor is the stronger of the two. In addition, recent trials have shown that adding Zetia does not improve the performance of Vytorin over Simvastatin alone.
Avatar m tn 346 participants completed a two year course of treatment with the cholesterol drug, rosuvastatin (Crestor®), 40 mg (the maximum FDA-approved dose). The volume of coronary plaque was assessed using intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS), both at the start and after the 24-month treatment period. (IVUS is an invasive procedure performed during heart catheterization.) Dr. Steven Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic, lead investigator of ASTEROID, reported that plaque was reduced by an average of 6.
