1806721 tn?1554333407 Is there any danger to take Ambien together with Pravastatin? I really very desperately need to sleep through the night... Thanks so much for your help!
Avatar n tn My doctor prescribed the generic pravastatin as a more afordable alternative to atorvastatin but also doubled the amount I take (from 20 mg of atorvastatin to 40 mg of pravastatin). Should I be concerned about the effectiveness of pravastatin?
Avatar m tn Is it safe to take Levothyroxine at the same time as Pravastatin? Also, 2 months ago, I started to take my Levothyroxine at bedtime instead of in the morning as it is more convenient. and after a recent bloodtest my GP has reduced my Thyroxine to 75mcg instead of 100mcg. Could taking it at bedtime be the reason for this reduction? I will obviously ask my GP about this on my next visit to the surgery but would be grateful for any advice.
Avatar f tn I am also having higher blood sugars since i have been put on pravastatin. I have been on it now for about 2 months. I take 10 mg.
Avatar f tn I ordered an elliptical today to increase my aerobic activity, as I often skip the walks due to bad weather. I have decided not to take the Pravastatin - although I will discuss this with my doctor. But my ratio was better with a total of 225 to an HDL of 54 then it is to have a total of 152 to 2. Any thoughts, comments or advice would be welcome. I am pretty laid back, but this is freaking me out!

Avatar m tn In order to keep best our kidney, what time should be take a pill of viread? Am or pm?
Avatar f tn Both simvastatin and pravastatin have the same side effect profile, but it does depend on the individual as to whether one would cause more issues than the other." The only negative I have read about Simvastatin in recent times is a study that showed high doses of simvastatin of 80 mg puts a patient at a greater risk for side effects including muscle damage. Most doctors have backed off of the 80 mg dosage as a result.
647330 tn?1232815819 I have checked every med I take against the use of one or two drinks on Christmas and they say it will enhance the effects but none say it will kill me. Clonidine, Metoprolol, Pravastatin, Lorazepam, Prilosec and Prednisone and Methimazole. Please respond if you have had adverse effects from such a small amount of alcohol with these drugs.
225237 tn?1333138999 She has determined that medical intervention is necessary to get your numbers to a safe level. She has weighed the benefits to the risk and determined it is the best course of treatment for you. You have classic metabolic X syndrome and you need treatment. The pills alone won't necessarily get you where you need to be, you will also need to change your lifestyle to include diet and exercise. It is very important that you get this under control before it does any damage to your arteries.

Avatar m tn I have recently had a cath. The doctor doing the cath said "everything here is clear, you're fine". The cardiologist I'm seeing said the cath showed a 30% blockage. I'm still trying to get a clarification. Anyway, the cardiologist put me on Amlodopine and Pravastatin. Now, on a daily basis it seems, my heart rate increases and beats at 90-115 bpm (normally in the mid 70s). At the same time, I've started on a vegetarian diet to try to lower my cholesterol.
Avatar n tn In early September, I was prescribed a statin for the first time, 40 mg of Pravastatin, to be taken at night. After 2 weeks, I started having muscle pain/weakness in my legs but for the first time in my life had very odd heart palpatations after lying down in bed for about 10 minutes when I was first trying to sleep. I stopped taking the Pravastatin after about 1 month.
Avatar n tn In which case you may need to continue with this dosage. Pravastatin is generally well tolerated; adverse reactions are usually mild. Some common side effects of pravastatin include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, and abnormal liver tests. So, if you experience e any of these effects, you can consult your doctor for dose alteration. Regards.

Avatar f tn I am getting stomach pain unlike period pain. Could i be pregnant and when is best time to take the test..
Avatar n tn I had been on the 40mg for the longest time then got the aforementioned results back at which time doc upped the dosage to 80mg. Very peculiar in my opinion. What I am wondering is: Perhaps in that lipid panel there was another number that I was not aware of that needed addressing? Perhaps he ran a CRP unbeknownst to me? I do have Mitral Valve Prolapse, but that aside all other cardiac tests have been fine. Had two Nuclear Stress Tests over the last few years and they came back Normal.
