Using simvastatin together with niacin is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases.

Ithink you may be having a moderate reaction to one of your meds but not sure or could be an interaction going on with one of your other meds.Be firm with your doc because somethings not right and your doc should help you instead of shruging his shoulders as if its not his problem or acting like the problem is not a big deal.Maybe you should see an allergist to see if that will help.

Effective in June 2011 the FDA recommends limiting the dose of simvastatin to a maximum dose of 40 mg, with the exception of patients already taking simvastatin 80 mg daily for a period of greater than 12 months who have not developed any myalgia side effects. The FDA make this restriction because at the highest dose of simvastatin 80 mg daily the incidence of serious myopathy was higher than using other available statins.
Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Chronic Hep B, I'm on Baraclude now, and have been on Crestor (Rosuvastatin ) for the last 10 years.
If it's better for me to change to Simvastatin (Zocor, Vytorin), I'm all for it, but want to know if there's evidence out there. I've only found mention of one study that wrapped last year, but no results from it.
Any info will be appreciated.
I was then sent to the hospital and the consultant tried more powerful antibiotics, still with no positive results so I then had a CT scan, which showed an infection deep in the sinus near to the nerve from the eye.

Theoretically, in some patients wouldn't this dramatically increase that patient's chance of clearing HBsAG if used with NUC's? If so, then Alinia, perhaps after years of use, might give some people a chance to get rid of the HBV virus and attain immunity. Or do I have this wrong?
I take Simvastatin with no side effects, and have for several years, and so does my husband, also no problems. It's done an excellent job of lowering both our cholesterols.
Hi Same With Me I Am To See My Doctor Next Week,I'm Not Very Happy With The Situation!
here is the article about simvastatin anti-hbv effect and combo with nucs, i am interested in etv+sim combo but it is not clear what 300:1 or 100:1 means, is that 300mg of sim per 1mg of etv and 100mg sim + 1mg of etv?
because both 300mg and 100mg of sim are more than FDA approved sim dose (max dose 80mg), the only safe dose would be 50mg sim+0.5mg etv, what do you think?
