simvastatin

His only comment was if the cholesterol keeps going up he would recommend a higher dose of simvastatin.

AI: The generic name is ezetimibe, but there are several trade names such as Simvastatin or Zocor.

The lowest price for simvastatin (generic Zocor) 20 mg is 706 percent more expensive than the VA price for brand-name Zocor.

Atorvastatin (Lipitor) and simvastatin (Zocor) have warnings about interactions with grapefruit.

In HPS, for example, subjects were not randomized to simvastatin or placebo until they had successfully tolerated simvastatin 40 mg for a 5 week introductory period (17), and most trials report muscle symptoms only when CK values exceeded 10 times upper limits of normal.

AI: Simvastatin is a type of statin called a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor Me: I'm 45 years old and had an inferior wall myocardial infarction without heart failure afterwards.

I don't know how much the pharmacy charges the insurance company for these drugs, but on my insurance I had to pay a $20 copay for metformin, simvastatin, and carvedilol.

Then I found that if I went to Walmart I could buy metformin and carvedilol for $4 each, and I could get simvastatin for $8.50 if I used a GoodRx coupon.

For years, my father was prescribed a drug (simvastatin) that actually did damage to his body because it's nearly universally assumed to be good for him (it is for most white people), and strongly subsidized by the government (he's a military vet).

But he has at least one allele that increases the risk of myopathy when taking simvastatin (Assuming there were no milkmen - I do look quite a bit like him - I'm homozygous, and this allele is not terribly rare).

Some other medications or supplements I heard recommended, but we didn't decide to include yet are reservatol, simvastatin, altrexone, doxycycline, boswellia, quercetin, keto, intermittent fasting.

The part about being asian is that asians tend not to catabolize statins as effectively, so his plasma levels are probably higher, since I found out he was taking a full "white person dose" despite advisories that simvastatin should be given at half dose for asians.

Further study: there's always a new statin the moment patent expires: check out: Compactin -> Simvastatin -> Fluvastatin -> Cerivastatin -> Atorvastatin -> Rosuvastatin on wikipedia (these are chemical names, not brand names, the last two are the brands: "Lipitor" and "Crestor") So I don't know.

Some of your symptoms sound like what I experienced when I was put on a statin drug (specifically Simvastatin).
