simvastatin and pomegranate

I have heared from an ex-patient (SVR) that his doctor advised him to take pomegranate juice during Tx as pomegranate/pomegranate juice is very very helpful during Tx and is very bebnificial to liver. Anyone know about that ????

“If you are unaware that a patient is on simvastatin and you give either boceprevir or telaprevir, the simvastatin level in the blood can go high and patients can develop muscle breakdown,” said Dr. Jensen. http://www.idse.net//ViewArticle.aspx?

what makes it any better than orange juice or cranberry juice? is it something to with antioxidants and what do they do? Is pomegranate juice high in sugar or calories?

Hi everyone, what fruit is your baby this week? :D I'm 23 wks + 1d and he's a pomegranate, still undecided on names and haven't bought any major items yet. How are you getting ready?

random nd unimportant but just thought I'd say that I'm 23 weeks now nd this baby app says baby is about 11.4 inches nd almost a pound AND the size of a pomegranate?! I've never in my life seen a pomegranate that's almost a foot long by any measurements. not length wise, width wise, or even circumference. just thought I'd share lol.

Why oh why has my baby gone from banana to carrot to papaya to pomegranate..... Pomegranate!!! Does no one else get a bit confused with where the app is buying their groceries? I want a pomegranate that's bigger than a papaya please.

I quit taking the simvastatin last tuesday, and by friday I looked perfectly normal with no steroid cream...... Thanks again for all the help!

I use simvastatin to lower the cholesterol and lisinopril to lower the bp. The lisinopril works w/o the simvastatin and v.v.

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker while lisnopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitor. Both groups of drugs and simvastatin are unlikely to cause erectile dysfunction. However yes, all three of them can cause swelling of ankles. Talk to your doctor. You can change your medications. Among antihypertensives you need to avoid thiazides , beta blockers and alpha blockers. High blood pressure and reduced blood supply to penis can also cause erectile dysfunction.

I have been on 20 mg of simvastatin and 3000 mg niaspan now my ck levels have went from 60 to 295 i could hardly walk .will my levels come down if i lower dose. and reverse damage. i have 12 stents .the rest of my blood work is fine.

On a recent blood test my potassium level was above normal. I stopped taking simvastatin. After 3 months I took another blood test and now my cholesterol level has risen to 6.5. What shall I do. I am seeing my Doctor next week.

I am not sure if pomegranate is implicated in arrhythmias, but there is the chance that the onset of your symptoms and the initial consumption of the pomegranate are only a coincidence. Sure, PVCs are common in otherwise healthy people, but the best thing to do is to be examined by your Doctor to determine if yours are benign.

Hey I am 9 weeks pregnent nd want to know Do pomegranate and pineapple cause miscarraige?

Patients were put on a cholesterol-lowering diet and given one of the medications. After 18 weeks, patients given simvastatin had significantly lower total cholesterol, lower LDL, lower triglycerides, and higher HDL cholesterol levels than those who took pravastatin. The study found that the patients on simvastatin achieved the target LDL level of less than 130, more than those on pravastatin (65 percent on simvastatin versus 35 percent on pravastatin).

Problem is I think if you can't take one statin you may not be able to take any. But there are other drugs you can try like Niaspan (slow release niacin) and vitorin and so forth. I don't know if you are into changing your diet but if you get a chance watch the video Forks over Knives. It is how a plant based diet can reverse althroschlerosis. My husband's cholesterol was 260, blood pressure was 140/90 and weight 260. He is 6' 2" though.

They read up on all of her meds called the Dr. he stopped the simvastatin and she is much better now and cont to improve. My husband is on it and has no problems. As with most drugs, they affect people different.

Advicor (lovastatin/niacin extended-release), Simcor (simvastatin/niacin extended-release), and Vytorin (simvastatin/ezetimibe).

Simvastatin has been wdely used by members on this forum including myself. Took it for a few months but not currently taking it at the moment. So yes,Simvastatin, and overall a very healthy diet!!!!

My endocrinologist prescribed me Atorvastatin 40mg in place of the simvastatin but it has since given my major chest pain and muscle weakness in my fingers and legs; so I was advised by the pharmacist to stop that and I have only taken the new statin twice and tonight was the second time taking it. Is simvastatin something that can be eased up to a higher dose to do the exact same thing atorvastatin does for the bad cholesterol?

Avocado, 16 weeks!!

No pomagranite is a little larger than an apple... More like a baseball but still bigger... I don't understand how they go from long skinny fruit to round fruit...
