Avatar n tn I want to know how to join the class action against Victoria Secrets. I have experinced this and my doctors did not know what was causing it. It stopped when I changed bras.
Avatar n tn How do I joined the class action suit against Victoria Secret for these rashes from the "Sexy" bras which I loved and brought 2 at once the week they came out with them? I knew it was the bras that I had recently purchased as I alternated between other types of VS bras that didn't do it. I always thought it was the dye in the bras and that's what I told my doctor who prescribed anti fungus medication. Formaldyhyde would be the last thing I would think.
Avatar f tn What are the odds of those of us that are suffering from from tooth decay and paying outrageously for doctors appointments, prescriptions, and now dentists and dental bills, what do we need or have to do to begin a class action lawsuit? Four members of my family have been on subutex for about 6 years some for general pain and some for addiction and we all have the same issues with decaying teeth and such. Our doctor has no means of tapering us off but we all have started ourselves.
907968 tn?1292622204 The class if statins that Simvastatin belongs in has a half life of only 11.3 hours at the most and it loses it's effect within 22 hours so it needs to be taken daily to get consistent results.
Avatar m tn I was put on metoprolol200 mg per day, amlodipine 10 mg, and since my high sensitivity c-reactive protein was 8.9, I was put on simvastatin 5mg. The medicine was controlling my blood pressure over the last couple of months but now it is not. I consistently run in the 150/95 range. My resting heart rate stays around 90. Is it normal for meds to just stop working, literally overnight? Should I be concerned about my risk of heart attack or stroke? Any advice is appreciated.
Avatar n tn I think they are in the same drug class, I've taken both with the similar results. As I recall, I was changed from lipitor to simvastatin because simvastatin isn't as strong a statin because of some very strong congestive heart meds that impact the liver and kidneys. Factors that can change liver functions include weight gain, alcohol consumption, exercise levels and diet, so it takes a health professional, which I'm not, to ferret out cause for blood test changes.
382218 tn?1341181487 Simvastatin improves final visual outcome in acute optic neuritis: a randomized study Abstract Background: In recent years, small-scale clinical trials have indicated that statins or 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMGCoA) reductase inhibitors exert pleiotropic immunomodulatory effects, with potential therapeutic implications in multiple sclerosis (MS).
Avatar f tn IS ANY ONE KHOWS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY WHO MAKES DENTAL IMPLANT THAT JUNK HAS MANY SIDE EFFECTS THAT MUST BE DISCUSSED WITH THE PATIENTS. INCLUDING CAUSING AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE . BUT MANY DENTISTS EITHER ARE NOT AWARE OF IT OR DENY IT. I HAD TWO DENTAL IMPLANTS. FINALLY I REALIZE THE BEST THING TO GET RID OF THEM IS GOING OVERSEAS WHICH I DID. I TOLD THE DENTIS I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITH THESE IMPLANTS ANY MORE I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LIVING WITH THEM.

Avatar n tn I would like to see a picture of the rash so that I can see if it is the same as mine. Red with heat, rising on the skin, and itches especially when, I'm working and get sweaty.
Avatar f tn Has there been a class action lawsuit for the recall of contaminated lot number in the fall of 2017 ?
Avatar m tn Just finished Tx 6 months post UDT and now have been prescribed simvastatin for cholestral. I'm 3/3.5 damaged and was wondering if this is the right aveune to take for meds . Will the hep C be reactivated or will my liver get worse now that its trying to get better. Blood work will follow in 30 days. The VA prescribed Zeitia and my new outside Dr recommended to try the Simvastatin ( Zocar) and stop the Zeita. Does this make any sense to anyone? Any comments are appreciated .
1616588 tn?1298639117 I started in taking my medications regularly my Doctor put me on 40 mg of Simvastatin. Since then I have been really ill. Upset stomach, back pain, leg cramps. I can hardly drive or walk for that matter. Most of all the symptoms that I have read on this I have had. At one point I thought I was dieing. I have had Insomnia and I have sleep apnea too. I am calling my Doctor to either take me off of it or lower the dose. I can't live like this and feel like this. I am also very Depressed.
334847 tn?1206530240 m not looking in the right place), but anyhow - I came by to see if anyone had posted on the class action law suit that's been filed against Vertex (on behalf of investors / stock holders). Was just wondering - have you all heard this? I've gotten several news alerts on it in the last several days. Thought some here might be interested. You can read the complaint filed by going to the several law firms representing the plaintiffs if you're interested in seeing it.
Avatar f tn Wow! I can't believe I stumbled on this information. I have been going crazy for the past 6 months trying to figure out why my breasts have had a rash, they are constantly itchy and blotchy. I just figureed it was dry skin, new detergent, cream...trying everything, but nothing worked. How horrifying to find out there may be formaldehyde in the bras. I've never been part of a class action lawsuit, but I will definitely participate in this one if it comes to fruition....
Avatar f tn I also would like information on this class action lawsuit. I am always itchy, I have contributed it dry skin. I have also had sores that have left me with scars. Never thought and my Dr. never mentioned it could be my bra. I am faithful to my VS body by Victoria!
Avatar f tn Can someone explain what, if any, evidence there for a switch from simvastatin to pravastatin? My husband's doctor said there is new evidence that simvastatin may be detrimental. Unfortunately, my husband did not quiz him further. He already has one stent in a narrow back artery but he has brought his cholesterol down considerably with the statins.
Avatar m tn curious if stef2011 or studyforhope or StephenCastlecrag know whether simvastatin by itself can reduce viral load? I've read about the effects in conjunction with NUCS but I'm curious if sim is effective alone.
Avatar f tn I have been taking simvastatin for three weeks since having a Tia but have also had a flu like cold for ten days , I am still having aching flu like pains which I would have thought would have passed by now . I don't know if this is a side effect of the drug I'm taking 40mg a day but feel really achy will this pass .
Avatar m tn Dear p1954 Carvedilol belongs to a class of drugs called beta blockers. It is responsible for inhibition of beta receptors present ubiquitously on the heart muscle. By blocking these receptors, it helps prevent the effects of adrenaline/noradrenaline on the heart thereby maintaining a low heart rate and reducing the energy expended by the heart per beat.
