Alternatives to Statins
They are expensive and so currently are only recommended for people in these groups who can’t get their cholesterol levels low enough by taking
statins
, or who are intolerant to
statins
. PCSK9 inhibitors have to be given as injections every two or four weeks.

Starting Lipitor 10mg......maybe?
As my cholesterol sticks stubbornly around 5, I have decided that I really should start taking
statins
....tonight! Which is 7 days before my next INR check.....I have been very resistant to this for ages.

Statin Dilemma
I still do not want to take the
statins
, due to everything I have found out about them. My dilemma is that I have a Lipid Clinic telephone appointment this Friday; therefore, I need to give my answer around taking or not taking
statins
.

statins
, and fenbendazole/mebendazole. For those of you that may be interested in the program check out Dr. Daniel Thomas's blog at www.thomashealthblog.com . He is my consulting oncologist associated with the CareOncologyClinic.

statins
and aspirins for a year then last month after a 24 hour monitor picked up multiple VTs was yanked into hospital and put in also Bisoprosol and Raprimil. To combat reflux I’m also on Lansoprazole.

Leg pain with other than statins and other meds.
After quitting
statins
because of severe leg pain I went to Welchol and had the same problem. I then went to the injection method with Repatha now, after six weeks it appears my leg pain is returning with a vengeance. (Leg pain did go away after quitting the other drugs).

medication can give you more problems
I am very concerned that not enough caution is given by doctors when prescribing medication with
statins
and blood pressure tablets in my case I have had a bad experience with raised GGT and have to keep insisting on blood tests to check if meds are having an effect and I worry how many people are medicated

Post stent drugs
Hi I had a stent after a mild heart attack and was put on six drugs including
statins
at a level of 80, 2 blood thinners and a beta blocker and an aspirin. I stopped one blood thinner Rampiril because of the cough. I have been told that this bombing with drugs is normal.

Blood pressure medications and prostate cancer
We used Cox regression to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for risk of PCa death and initiation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with adjustment for age, tumor extent, use of
statins
and for Charlson Comorbidity Index.

Old Subject re Statin use and PCa
Also the acclaimed prostate doc “Snuffy Myers” if I recall correctly, advocated rosuvastatin, among other
statins
. I’m thinking that there is more to this than “hydro” vs “ lipophillic” mechanisms and that is an over simplistic analysis.

High blood pressure, high cholesterol - Oops
Tried
statins
10 years ago, which made me look and feel like an old lady. Now I am trying again, due to this new doctor saying the drugs have changed.
