Itchy sores on ankles - cream?
Had an anterior STEMI 13 years ago. EF is 41%. drugs = omeprazol, edistride, bisoprolol, entresto, elecor, adiro,simvastatin. I have sores on my ankles. Not looking for a diagnosis, is there a cream that can lessen the effects??

Most used Statin
Hi everyone I’m considering going on a statin. Years ago I was on simvastatin but I was take off it by a cardiologist after he did my blood test, because in his words, it was affecting my bones. Recently my GP as been trying to get me to take it again but they’re not having any luck. I’m resisting.

Is Simvastatin more effective than the other statins, against PCa?
Patrick O'Shea and others interesting in the effects of statins on prostate cancer suppression, do you find anything about this study that reinforces the use of Simvastatin over other statins, or is it insignificant because it's not a study on men? I didn't try to translate the amount/dosage in this

Simvastatin
I have recently been through a bad chest infection (2 weeks of antibiotics and steroids) and my usual meds taking became a little erratic to say the least, but I found that the dry skin on my face seemed to have cleared up, since I restarted taking my meds regular each day it feels that the dryness

Apologies, this is a very long post! Statins are known by members of this forum to trigger/exacerbate RLS, although the NHS doesn’t formally recognise this. Statins are the most prescribed drug in the world, recommended for the reduction of cholesterol. Many doctors will say that they are essential,

Liver test results normalised with gut microbiome approach
I saw the liver specialist on Thursday and my liver test results have completely normalised. I did a trial with a naturopath with gut micriobiome testing, supplementation and dietary change based on that testing and a follow-up micriobiome test 3 months later. My intestinal permeability has healed and

drug interactions
An FYI for those of you on Ibrance and Simvastatin. Unfortunately I had a bad reaction to the combination of these 2 meds. Despite the fact that I’ve been taking them for 6 years with no problems, last week I developed what’s called Rhabdomyolosis. It basically causes muscle breakdown. CK levels are

Statin Use Is Associated with Better Prognosis of Patients with Prostate Cancer after Definite Therapies:
A new meta-analysis of statin use and prostate cancer-specific mortality [PCSM] and all-cause mortality [ACM], below [1]. The analysis included 24 studies with 369,206 individuals. It has been known for a century that solid tumors accumulate cholesterol. That may be reason enough to initiate statin

rosuvastatin.
Hello again. Having had horrible side effects on atorvastatin and simvastatin, the stroke consultant wants me to try rosuvastatin 5mg 3 times a week. Has anyone any experience of this statin as an intermittent dose ? Doc and consultant just do not want to give up on the statins… thanks.

ENTRESTO 49/51 (+ Bisoprolol, Eplerenone, Aspirin, Simvastatin, Omeprazole, Dapagloflozin, Furosemide, Mexiletine).
My husband (79) has been on Entresto for nearly 2 years. Has no energy or strength and is tired most of the time with breathing problems after a very short walk in the garden. Hasn't seen cardiologist or had his EF checked since prescription issued. GP will not change any medication cos of heart problems
