I have been prescribed 20mg zuvamor. Cholesterol at 6.2. Started taking half a tablet then moved onto taking a whole tablet. I am experiencing heart palpitations and shortness of breath. Thickening of my tongue at times too. Pain in my back and chest. Tingling in my limbs and my ears are ringing. Should i continue with the medication? ## Hello, Amz! How are you feeling? Has there been any change in your symptoms? Most of what you've mentioned are listed as being possible side effects of this medication, as reported by the FDA. Except the tongue thickening, that's not normal and may be indicative of a bad reaction to this medication. Have you informed your doctor? You may need to try something else.

say's TEVA on one side, but I can't make out any numbers on the other side. Any idea what it might be? ## WIthout knowing the numbers, it is going to be difficult to determine what this tablet contains, there are several manufactured by Teva that use their logo and meet this description. Just doing a quick, random search popped up 5 different possibilities. Just as an example, there is one round, peach colored tablet that says TEVA on one side and has the numbers 771 on the other, which contains 10mgs of Pravastatin, which is used to help lower cholesterol. Have you tried having someone else look at the pill to see if they can make out the numbers? ## Small round peach scored,Teva on front,looks like four numbers on back. ## The pill is peach colored with the TEVA on one side an...

I've been taking simvastatin 20mg for 2 years. They were peach, round, and small. Now it's brick red, round and larger, with 199 on one side of the pill and RDY on the other side. Is this the same pill? ## Yes, this tablet is manufactured by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories and they do list it as containing 20mgs of Simvastatin, which is used to help lower cholesterol. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking this medication for 5 years. In the past 5 years I have been to neurologists, rheumatologists, chiropractors, physical therapy, accupuncture, MRI's and the list goes on and on. I have been told I have all kinds of things wrong something different from every doctor. The pain in all my joints especially hips and back and neck was so bad my muscles would quiver and I would be nauses. I was so fatigued and agited with even my family due to the pain - it made me a different person, I slept but not well I could not imagine living another 10 yrs and I am only 43. Never thought it was the trilipix I quit taking it and its all gone within 2 weeks. ## Oh yeah I forgot: yes my hair is falling out it is half as thick as it used to be and very unhealthy and no its not just ove...

Please tell me if it is the zuvamor and comcor that give me the pain in my hips and back at night when I sleep ## Hello, Es! How are you? It is most likely the Zuvamor. It is listed as containing the active ingredient Rosuvastatin and it is well known to cause those types of side effects in some people that take it, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness and headache. Typically, most people have to consult their doctor about switching to a different medication, when they experience such issues. Is there anything else I can help with?

My father has been taking lipikind since last 12 years. Now, since last 2 years, He's suffering from Liver swelling even he has no bad habits such as drinking, smoking etc. He'd left taking it for a while. In that period, there's a positive response from liver and it function well. But there is an increase in Cholesterol levels. So, he started to take Lipikind again & again there's the same problem occurs with the liver. Is any other generic should be taken instead of Atorvastatin so that liver functions well? Please suggest.

I take Altosec, Pharmapress, Crestor - can any of these drugs cause severe cramps on long term use? ## There's a possibility it's from the Crestor, because it has been known to cause both muscle and joint pain and problems as side effects, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness and headache. How long have you been taking it?

our doctor gave my dad rozat 10 mg to control cholesterol but he is using rose day 10mg as alternative medicine but it cause side affect to some people so he can continue or not please reply me..... ## Actually roseday is better than rozat. But there is serious ayurvedic medicines for it: 1. Safi by humdard 2. Cardiwin by vedhnath 3. Haridya vati by ramdev 4. Or simply get arjur chaall and boil it drink it 5. Stop oily food, sugar, non veg, black tea and coffee 6. Eat 50 gm of chukander beetroot everyday 7. Drink neem juice 30 gm and 3-5 leaves of neem tree alternate days 8. Do at least 30 min walking and sleep 8 hour min Most importantly, apply number 8 and 5, and choose any one or two from others. See the visible difference Plenty more ........

Re action Welchol powder. Throat came itchy and closed. Could not breath, what a scary day that was. What a awaking. I don't know what made me breath again. ## Did you seek medical attention? Did you make sure to mix it according to the instructions? Learn more WelChol details here. If you took it properly, then that could have been an allergic reaction and your doctor should be informed. ## I mixed it with a lot of water and lemonade(16oz), because it was so sweet the 1st 3 times I tried. Should have known then something was wrong. My throat was so itchy and kept coughing most of the day. Thought it was from the VOG in Hawaii. I had trouble taking the pills also, wanted to vomit and started to lose feeling in my right foot. Just didn't connect. ## I also had a bad reaction the ...

I Have extreme high Tryglycerites levels 940. Went to a Lipids clinic(when they tested down to 360 for some reason) and they said it wasn't lifestyle but heredity.

I'm sorry about the problems you've been having. Were you fasting, before these tests? If not, then the extremely high numbers may not have been accurate.
