Hi Friends,
Have any one taken simvastatin? The doctor gave me for lipids.
This time, my Rheumy gave me Metotroxate 20 mg once a week and Azathioprine 50 mg 3 times a week,Salazopyrin twice daily. He also gave me calcium daily 1 tab, vitamin D2 once a week along with Folic tab daily.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Sorry I don't know about simvastatin but why vitamin D2 rather than D3?
I take Simvastatin for my cholesterol. This was prescribed some time ago. I am now on 10mg of mtx.
I was on Simvastatin but the GP changed it to Atvorstatin. This is to control my cholesterol. I am on Methotrexate 10mg. Been on this for 4 years and apart from side effects in the beginning no problems. I think my cholesterol med may have been changed due to cost,
Thankyou for your reply.
Do you still take Simvastatin?
I mean do we need to take life long?
no idea why.
Yes, I still take it except on the night I take the Methotexate. I am 70 and my doctor indicated she wanted me to keep taking it. So yes I think it is for life. I take before I go to bed and have not notice any side effects.
