Re: Simvastatins (40MG) side affects.

Atorvastatin is far more expensive. Thats why they start you on simvastatin

I picked up a leaflet in the docs the other day as well, called Stat-Guard. (If you take statins, it says you may need Stat-Guard).

I already take CoQ10 at 100mg once a day, but on this leaflet its added with Zinc and Vitamin E.

Not advertising folks lol, but have any of you heard of this actual one before please?

Re: Simvastatins (40MG) side affects.

Thanks Pompeyfaith. I'd never heard of it before, or if I had, had forgotten it.

Time to look through a few H&B-type websites methinks.

Re: Simvastatins (40MG) side affects.

sorry to sound cynical but that says there is no conclusive evidence to say it helps. I am not sure how much it costs but would it be cheaper just to but the zinc and Vitamin E tablets or maybe a multivitamin ?

Re: Simvastatins (40MG) side affects.

di's 100mg tablets cost just under 20 quid for a month's supply on the H&B site.

I suppose the cost depends on how much a daily dose you think you may need.

di, would you mind telling us how you found out about this?

Red Bull gave me quite a few things but definitely not wings!

Hi folks

So sorry for the delay in responding, an hectic evening lol.

I picked up the leaflet about these actual ones from my doctor's surgery, where they do all the health leaflets. Stat-guard.

I do already take Co Q10 vitality supplements and get mine from Boots the Chemist, will post the link here below. They do them in various strengths. I take one a day at 100mg.
But I am going to check for any difference in the 2, from the ones I take to the ones shown as posted above.

Forgot to mention the other day.
I asked my gp about tonic water and she told me no, this is because of my kidneys though, no other reason, such a shame :-(

Re: Simvastatins (40MG) side affects.

If your sure it's since you started the statins, I would be back to the quacks.

I stopped mine again some time ago. Still getting problems.

Cheers Vint, I never suffered with this pain before taking the statins, so I will be contacting the doc today, it's unbearable now x

Re: Simvastatins (40MG) side affects.

My own doc dealing with me wasnt available, but they told me to ring tomorrow to check for any cancellations and to stop taking them at present.
