So I am taking simvastatin and fish oil for high cholesterol. I recently had levels rechecked and my cholesterol has come down but my DR says I will probably stay on the simvastatin forever. I am thinking about starting COq10 as well, has anyone taking this post transplant?
-
Never even heard of it or simvastatin. I was taken off my cholesterol meds post tx and restarted on lipitor in November but will be taken off it if labs warrant it after stopping a couple medicaions for arthritis.

Zimvastatin is generic for Zocor, CoQ10 is usually taken with a statin, like in Canada it automatically is prescribed with it.

My husband stopped doing the satins. He took them for about 3 years and his muscles ached like hell. Five months down the line he does not ache and cholesterol is good.

My brother swears by COQ10. He swears by alot of things. He is a health nut, and has all kind of vitamins & fish oil ect...
Last I heard, he is in Great shape!

I used to take Coq10 when I had my tx, my dad's kidney was quite old (in those days) so I was told it might work 10 yrs. It worked nearly 14 yrs so I decided it did no harm, neither did the fish-oil, nor the Solidago (gollden wort in english, I lived in Holland then, but I've never seen it in UK)
