Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn since i am on a complex combo made of etv, gcmaf, ntz, heptech supplements, any effect on hbv, hbsag is from the combo and it cannot be determined if from sim, ntz or whatever anyway we can say one thing for sure use of simvastatin 40mg for 1 month had no negative effects, normal alt etc, i will slowly increase to 80mg dose and see if any sides or positive effects i am wating for hbsag quantification, hbvdna and hbvdna genes sequence, any of these tests is very useful to determine effect of t

Avatar m tn My blood pressure so far after surgery has been controlled with a 40mg lasix, furosemide, once a day. I have lost 30lbs since surgery. I attend cardiac rehabilitation where exercise is done for 34 minutes in treadmills bikes, etc. 17 minutes on two of these within an hour with warmup and cool down exercises. I have gone to two cardiologists. the first, at 4 weeks after surgery, said to take 25mg of metoprolol twice a day.and 10mg of simvastatin once a day.

Can anyone offer advise on how to make these 8 40mg tabs last until tuedsay morning? Without me going to WD's? I dont think I can handle oth the suregery pain, my lower back pain, and then the WD's from oxy....I think that is how people die from trying to go cold turkey...there bodies are too weak.....
Avatar m tn If anybody has something to share, please feel free to post. The advice given to me by stef2011 are as follows: tests are needed, hbv produces mutations every moment and every day, few are known and few can make damage, the most are just replication errors with no infectivity.
Avatar f tn I was originally on Simvastatin 20mg at night for a few years but I have missed here and there. my Dr changed me to Lipitor 40mg the other statin medication and since starting it one night ago, I've experienced some pain in my chest...not so much on the right side. is this normal? My bad cholesterol was evelevated which is why I was changed. but can't I just exercise or does taking the medication have to happen to bring it down?
Avatar n tn I'm on Simvastatin (40mg) which have some nasty side effects, like cramps and muscle spasms. Can you reommend an alternative?
Avatar m tn Im needing to take almost 2 40mg tabs about every 8 to 12 hours hours or maybe 1 every 8 hours to even began to take the "edge" off the lower back pain. I had lower back surgery done "Fushion L5-S1" last month on October 6th. My post op appointment is this coming Tuesday on the 18th.

907968 tn?1292622204 Crestor studies showed that 1mg reduced c-ldl by the same level as 20-40mg of simvastatin. As the American Journal of cardiology stated, as levels of statins double, so does the frequency of liver damage. It also states why take more than your body needs. So, please be careful, I would hate to see you become seriously ill my friend. 20mg of crestor probably has the same strength as 400mg of simvastatin.
Avatar m tn x/full very interesting study which confirms why simvastatin, lowering cholesterol drug and actos (diabetes 2 drug), have anti hbv activity lowering hbvdna, cancer risk, all this without problems of resistance and acting on all hbv mutants conclusions: The discovery of the mechanisms by which HBV is controlled by the hepatic metabolic milieu may broaden our understanding of the unique regulation of HBV expression and may also explain the mechanisms by which HBV induces liver pathologies.
Avatar f tn I do believe the half life for Simvastatin is quite short, 5 hours or less. If you take 80mg, then 5hours later only 40mg will remain. Another 5 hours only 20mg. So after 24 hours there will only be around 2-3mg in your body which is top up time.
Avatar m tn her doctor has her on25mg toprol, 40mg simvastatin, 25mg levothyroxin,and 2.5mg ambeim. her neurologist has her on depakote er 500mg once per day and 10mg namenta twice per day. seems to me that the side effects of most of the doctor's meds. could possibly causing her problems or contributing to them, i would like to try taking her off all but the depakote and namenda and see if she has improvement. what do you think?
Avatar n tn I am taking 40mg nexium once daily and have recently been Rx'd simvastatin (10mg). It's a low dose, but there appears to be a potential moderate interaction, possibly myopathy and shortness of breath. I called the pharmacist and he said that unless I was taking a higher simvastatin dose (>50mg), I shouldn't have a problem.
Avatar m tn Would it be better to do oxy 40mg time release with Darvocet n-100? Or would tremedol I think its called? I also have Naproxen 500mg tabs......which one of these would be most effective together or to help me take LESS 40mg oxy's?
