vytorin
thankyou for your reply, i have checked the medication it suggests erectile disfunction but this is not the problem the problem is he has no sex drive the current time of any sex is now 3 months i feel this not normal for a other wise healthy man ! erection is not the problem so it suggests to me he has lost interest in me.
Actually, Lipitor is much stronger than Simvastatin and has a much higher incidence of side effects, unless I have missed some new data. According to the links I have Simvastatin is the safest statin on the market.
s had been around 160. What is the difference betwen the two? My medication is considerably higher than mine? Can you explain why? My blood sugar was running abot 137 so my Doctor also put me on Actoplus as well. My Lipitor is about $100 and my wife's Simvastatin is about $6 (same quantity of tables-30). Why should my wife be taking medication with her levels being slightly higher than the desired mid-point?
If they remain high, he or she may recommend lowering the dose or switching to one of several simvastatin alternatives. When this medication is stopped, in most cases, the liver enzymes return to their pre-simvastatin levels.
Liver Problems With Simvastatin: Warnings and Precautions
Because simvastatin can affect the liver, it is used with caution in people who drink more than a moderate amount of alcohol or have a history of liver disease.
(cirrhosis)
It is critical that your doctor discovers the cause and the medication is adjusted if it is the simvastatin. Here are some other things that may cause the liver to be irritated and the GGT to be elevated.
With the diet his cholesterol is 150 and the bp is now 115/70 and he finally lost 30 pounds and can keep it off so he is at 176. My cholesterol without meds went from 200 to 150 and my weight hasn't changed but my BMI is 21 to start with bp is normal or low 95/65. So, it is hard to eat out because everything has fat in it and we changed from dairy and eggs to no dairy no eggs to Vanilla Soy and whole grains and fruits and vegs etc. You have to get used to it. It took us some time.
Beta blockers like metoprolol and ACE inhibitors like benazepril have been been shown to be of value in patients with congestive heart failure as well as for hypertension. Simvastatin is of value for patients with both diabetes and heart disease. Talk to your doctor and changes can be made to minimize the side effects.
Is the medication as listed not controlling the pain? In my opinion he may be getting too much diazepine and fentanyl. If the evening sleeping pill (lunesta) is given too close to the diazepam there might be problems. The simvastatin and the atenolol and the cymbalta are probably not a problem....... He may well be getting too much pain medicine. Fentanyl, fentora, and opana are all strong pain meds.....
Hi,
As remar has advised, you need to continue the medication along with a medication for blood pressure, as high cholesterol with high BP is a bad combination. As regards gaining weight, you need to look at your calorie intake, reduce it and do regular exercise. Also avoid taking high cholesterol food.If your food consists of more carbohydrate, replace part of it with protein while reducing the overall calorie intake.
I have mentioned balanitis in the previous post, as balanitis involves the glans or the head of the penis. It is really a general term for any skin condition involving the glans. In certain cases dermatitis is present especially secondary to a mechanical injury.
Again, inform your physician prescriber about your stopping the simvastatin.
When you can't sleep from the withdrawals, I've been told that Trazadone is a good choice for sleep because it isn't a controlled substance, etc. What is the story with this medication?
As well as this I have received letter from my Doctor stating that my medication is changing from 40 mg Simvastatin to 10 mg Atorvastatin .
.BP and cholesterol is under control.
Issues I have in recent years is significant and worsening swelling of ankles and legs , as well as Erectile dysfunction . Is there any better drugs or treatment?
I would recommend both dietary restriction with low cholesterol and low fat, high fiber, and adding 1-2 servings of fatty fish per week.
I would also recommend starting a statin, which can reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke in the long term. With your extremely high LDL level even with diet and strong family history, I would consider the diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia, which is a genetic condition of high LDL, found to be caused by defects in the LDL receptor.
Again, only half the story. Red Star is posting the part that is always pointed out by the anti-statin crowd. Here's what they ALWAYS fail to point out, there was no evidence to show a relationship between statins and memory loss, but it was observed in a very, very small percentage of those on statins so they added the warning. Hefre's the link to the announcement from the FDA which you will see they could prove no link, only an observation.

simvastatin will help but not as immune modulator but reducing cholesterol for hbsag production, it is also good to note that both sim and alinia are active on all hbv strains so they might prevent resistance in case of nucs combo
another thing to keep very clear is that 1g alinia daily looks mostly ineffective since the maximum blood half-life of active level of alinia taken with food is 7 hours only so it is necessary to take alinia every 7-8 hours according to the total daily dose if 1.
