NICE guidance on statins
I recall seeing a reference to NICE guidance suggesting that
statins
should not be prescribed unless hypothyroidism has been eliminated. I’m struggling to find it and should be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Many thanks

coq10 use for statin muscle pain
will not take be taking it but was hopeful it may give me some relief from muscle pain caused from
statins
… Even though my cardiologist says that’s not a thing… It’s an imagined/ suggested pain people get because they read it is a side effect of
statins
.

Do Drs get a bonus for prescribing certain drugs ?
Does anybody know if Gps get a hand out for prescribing
statins
? There has been a lot of controversy in regard to this topic. Late yesterday afternoon I had a call from my surgery. It was a Dr I had never heard of or had I spoken to her before. She was suggesting I were put on
statins
!

PMR and statins
He was then put on
statins
, and every week for the last three he has had a flare, not sure if it’s coming off them, even though he has come off by slow tapering, or could it be the
statins
? Hence he is now back on 2mg daily. Wondered if anyone else has had any problems with
statins
?

Statins
I suggested the issue may be the
statins
but that was dismissed as he said if it was, it would affect all my muscles and not just my arm and back. Has anyone else experienced this and is he right, would the pain not just be restricted to certain areas?

just checking I'm doing the right thing...
Secondly, my understanding is that the liver is most active in producing the cholesterol that
statins
are supposed to reduce overnight. Does it follow that the statin is most usefully taken after my evening meal?
