Prescribed Statin

[Maisie1953]

I had my review with doctor today and have been given yet another tablet to take.

At present I am taking Rivaroxaban Omeprazole, Furosemide, Digoxin, Candersartan, Bisprolol 10mg and Accrete D3. I have now been given Atorvastin.

Can anyone advise when is best to take Statin and is anyone else on this combination of drugs. I have been on these meds for almost 2 years since AF was diagnosed. Some days I am so washed out that I cannot move out of the chair.

Until I had AF I was an active 63 year old working full time. Now, on my bad days, can hardly push the Hoover around.

Hi Maisie I take mine in the evening as that’s when my husband takes his as he is on simvastatin which has to be taken at night.

I notice that in leaflet that comes with artovastatin it says it can be taken at anytime.

I am on the same statin, I always take mine the last thing at night after brushing my teeth - it’s a routine thing 😬😊

Hi Maisie,

I had to stop the rivaoxiban as it gave me one of the 1 in 10 side effects. Too personal to state here.

Now on apixaban which is 2 doses a day along with a change of BP med. so far so good but it was at least 2 months before the side effect kicked in watch this space.

Hi Grinny

You kindly replied to my post 2 months ago regarding the meds that I am taking. At the time I was experiencing the usual side effects but recently have had symptoms that I haven't experienced before. Rivaroxaban seems to be my problem but not sure if you had same symptoms.
