to do with the pills. a 6 weeks later when bayer approved me for free nubeqa

they pharmacy worker told me not to take crestor with it which i had been taking

30mg a day then 5 days later my ailments got better but now 2 months later my feet

still hurt and swell and also my ankles and knees showed up bright white on my

bone scan but i still haven’t found a doctor that can tell me what happened or what

The pharmacy is right about not taking Nubeqa (darolutamide) with Crestor (rosuvastatin). This site mentions interactions:

"Darolutamide may significantly increase the blood levels of rosuvastatin..." drugs.com/drug-interactions...

My Primary Care doctor had switched me from Zocor (simvastatin) to Crestor because it does not cross the BB barrier and aggravate my seizure risk. I told her I was interested in Nubeqa because it also did not cross the BB barrier. I asked if I could stop taking Crestor if I was to take Nubeqa, because to me cancer control was more important than cholesterol control. She said that would be OK.

perhaps consider switching to Enzalutamide which has the opposite effect according to the drug interaction checker. Darolutamide increases Rosuvastatin absorption whereas Enzalutamide decreases Rosuvastatin absorption, according to the drug checker. I take Enzalutamide and Rosuvastatin with no problems.

I've been taking COLESEVELAM (Welchol) to lower my cholesterol for many many moons....I've also had Neuropathy in my feet and up to the middle of my legs for many many moons (before taking Welchol). I started taking Nubeqa in April last year (2023) and have NOT noticed any increase in my Neuropathy. Holy shit now I'm sounding like a doctor............ Hey Ana, make a bid on that used white coat that we saw on Ebay.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
