what is lescol for

I was on Lescol for cholesterol control but decided to try just losing weight. I lost 50+ pounds by eating smaller, more frequent meals and eating low fat. (No fried foods, limited meats, went to low-fat cheeses, cottage and low-fat frozen ice creams and yogurt.) It worked. My cholesterol and blood pressure dropped into the normal range and I got off the Lescol and BP meds. Have kept up the same way of eating and have maintained my weight loss with little effor. Might want to try it.

I started with Lescol , then lipitor and now Crestor.The reason for these changes was to try to find a product that does not cause so much muscle cramps.This I decided I had enough. Craps in leg and foot musles have become unbearable. Can you suggest a remidy to avoid incresing my chol level again.

Londres is certainly correct that there are a few other options available to treat what could be assumed to be familial hypercholesterolaemia, even though your doctor has obviously tried those that would be most obvious.

The Gastroenterologist recommended Liver Biopsy to check for liver damage.

INR) may be ordered to assess the degree of blood-thinning when warfarin and clopidogrel are used together. The same enzyme also is responsible for the metabolism of phenytoin (Dilantin), tamoxifen (Nolvadex), tolbutamide (Orinase), torsemide (Demadex), and fluvastatin (Lescol). Although important interactions between clopidogrel and these drugs are unlikely, interactions should be looked for carefully.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say, and it is a daunting list that they note may be incomplete. It is quite a long list, but I don't see amoxicillin on it. To be certain, I would talk to the pharmacist.

AS the only way to acheive SVR is to have the virus be UND for a sustained period of months. This is why Genotype 1 is usually treated for 48 weeks.

What did or is everyone having for dinner? My husband and I are having a late dinner with steaks, stuffed pork chops and potatoes on the grill.

Thanks for taking the time to answer Joan! Did you try the Niacin with aspirin to reduce side effects taken at bedtime? Yes, I was up to a gram or two/day but the one incident of severe facial, body, and throat swelling (allergic reaction) precluded me from continuing any niacin according to my family practitioner at the time. It also only raised my HDL 3 or 4 points.

BTW there is also research that is showing reducing cholesterol does not extend life expectancy, just changes what kills you, i.e. from heart attacks to cancer (amongst other causes). Just Google it.

If you feel it is the Simvastatin, you can always ask your doctor about going off of it for a short while to see if it improves. This is a rare side effect of Simvastatin so I would look elsewhere for the problem. You should speak to your doctor.

Take a antihistimine and spray nose really good and it should drain soon or if you still have it after 10 days get a z pak. Thats if it is an ear ache. I finished tx about 3 wks ago and had an earache for two wekks prior to finishing. Took a z pak after 2 wks and the ear drained. Thought that was done , then a week later it came back, but not quite with the same pressure in ear.

So many people have lived the same things we have, but are so much further in their journey to wellness. You all know the lingo and so on... So If I could be so bold as to ask what TX is short for?

When you can't sleep from the withdrawals, I've been told that Trazadone is a good choice for sleep because it isn't a controlled substance, etc. What is the story with this medication?

In simple terms, Xanax is a quick fix that a lot of doctors use. It is fast acting. But what you will find is, what you took at first, won't work after a certain amount of time on the tablet. Its effectiveness wears off. So we get the Xanax spiral. To gain the same effect people begin to take a little more and a little more. There are far better forms of medication out there.
