A modest proposal
Statins
. Orlistat. Metformin. And then there are the expensive and stressful "treatments" that follow in later years. Heart transplants. Kidney transplants. Hip replacements. Amputations. By the NHS's own estimates, about 25% of the operating budget is wasted on these things.

Omeprazole and Atorvastatin interactions?
However, onchecking for interactions of drugs prescribed to me I have found there is an interaction between
statins
and Omeprazole. Furthermore, it seems that Zantac has been withdrawn. Has anyone taken Omeprazole as well as
statins
?

ET jak2 negative, first post
All the tests came back normal apart from a platelet count of 1191 I was prescribed aspirin and
statins
and sent home with a refferral to Haematology. I avoided googling high platelet count until a couple of days before my appointment with the Haemotologist at the end of November.

Grande Horizontale
I queried with the GP whether this could have been caused by
statins
. Anyway, she went today for the ultrasound and the person who did the ultrasound said "oh - the problem might be caused by the colon. you need a colonoscopy".

Clopidogrel and Lansoprazole
She has had two mini strokes (T.I.A.s) the last one about a year ago and was prescribed
Statins
and Clopidogrel. When her prescription was renewed, she received a text telling her that she had also been prescribed Lansoprazole for tummy protection.

Painful joints
According to various websites I’ve Googled, any pain should happen when commencing starting with
statins
and peter out as time goes by. Am I an exception to the rule?!!

Cholesterol test
Hi I get a yearly cholesterol / thyroid test as my mother had high levels and took
statins
and thyroxine. I’ve been ‘invited’ to go back and discuss my levels with my practice nurse after this year’s test which is not unusual.

Stent needed?
She also said I've to start
statins
and to speak to gp in about a week about it. I've made the appointment and see the gp Monday. My cholesterol is OK but my family history isn't. My mum had stent fitted after a heart attack when she was 60. My dad has a heart block and palpitations.

Statins: Researchers uncover how cholesterol-lowering drugs cause muscle pain.
According to the results of their work,
statins
cause enhanced production of a protein called ‘GILZ’ that impairs muscle cell function. https://www.uni-saarland.de/universitaet/aktuell/artikel/nr/21616.html
