Experiences with

Simvastatin / Ezetimibe

hi there After lots of side effects on statins my husband’s Consultant has suggested he try ezetimibe. His results are good without through lifestyle but obviously not nearly as good as they would be on a drug. His main symptom was depression tbh which switched off each time he came off them.

Bisoprolol, Aspirin, Losartan, Ezetimibe, and Rosuvastatin. The positives are I completed my Cardiac Rehab successfully and was discharged by my cardiologist 2 weeks ago.

Meds: Atorvastatin Aspirin Bisoprolol Clopidogrel Ezetimibe Isosorbide Mononitrate XL Thanks 👍

I've been taking EZetimibe 5mg since November 2024. I've just had a blood test and cholesterol has reduced from 6.2 to 5.7. I know it needs to be 5 or less.

He was prescribed Entresto 25mg, Eplerenone 25mg, Clopidagrel 75mg, Aspirin 75mg and Ezetimibe 10mg. By January he was feeling much more energised and able to walk (not run!) @ 5 miles a day with only the occasional duvet day.

My anti coagulants have recently been changed from warfarin to Apixaban, I have also recently been prescribed Pitavastatin which I am now taking in addition to Ezetimibe. Previous attempts to get me on the usual statins resulted in elevation of liver enzymes/triglycerides.

My risk QRISK is 13.8%, and my pharmacist, who works in our surgery, wants to put me on Atorvastatin 20mg.I prefer to begin with Ezetimibe tablets (like Ezetrol), but they even do not want to discuss it with me.Take statin or die!

I’m on a sack load of meds for BP inc Ramipril, Aspirin, Nicorandil, Ezetimibe and Atorvastatin, as well as meds for rheumatoid arthritis. I’ve had chest pain for over a year and they have tried Ranolazine, which made the chest pain worse, and more recently Isosorbide Nitrate.

My GP has contacted me regarding taking a drug called Ezetimibe to lower cholesterol. My last blood tests were mid 2024 and my LDL cholesterol was at the top of the "normal" reference ranges, but by no means high.

I am waiting to speak to the GP's pharmacist for advice and I think the next step is Ezetimibe a different type of cholesterol lowering drug.

I take Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe. He will keep me on statin and Ezetimibe with Rapatha or Praluent. Nexlizit contains Ezetimibe so would still keep me on statin. Does anyone have experience taking either of these? Thanks.

I was this med due to the statin meds worsening my RLS This will be my first and final attempt with it my legs are off the scale

heart attack June 23, 1stent, on Ramapril and Ezetimibe, heart rate when sleeping 49-55, watching tv 55-66 walking or general moving about 68-84 but sometimes spikes to 112 then comes down is this normal go didnt seem to be concerned but just need to know others experiences, maybe should scrap smart

anyone experiencing muscle stiffness with this ? In shoulder mainly . Seems to have seized up . Struggling to raise my arm out in front of me . Maybe not even due to the tablets , but I started these in October , as couldn’t tolerate any if the statins

I am currently on, Ezetimibe 10mg x 1 Isosorbide mononitrate 60mg x 1 Famotadine 20mg x 1 Tildiem retard 90mg x 2 Aspirin 75mg x 1 Rosuvastatin 5mg x 1 Amlodipine 5mg x 1 I have just been told to stop the Amlodipine as I had awful side affects.

There seems to be conflicting evidence depending on the study you look at on whether lypholic (fat soluble: Simvastatin / Atorvastatin) or hydrophilic statins (Rosuvastatin) had the highest potential for lowering the Hazard Ratio for PCa metastases and mortality.

Hello everyone I'm wondering if there may be a connection between chronic conjunctivitis and essential thrombocythemia. I am in my seventies and was diagnosed over three years ago after mild TIA stroke. The only symptoms prior to diagnosis were recurring bouts of conjunctivitis and an episode of inflamed

I'm on Clopidogrel, Ramipril and Simvastatin. The NHS website advises "If you're aged 80 or over, you're usually considered to have high blood pressure if your reading is either 150/90 or higher when checked by a healthcare professional; 145/85 or higher when checked at home".
