Q: Lipitor..First time and Only Given one month prescription..Will that do anything??.?
Iam 27 years old and my recently blood work showed that my cholesterol was high for the first time in my life. I had fasted for about 9-10 hours before given blood. Results were total was 200. HDL was 45 and my LDL was 155. Doctor was very quick to prescribe me 10mg of Lipitor and only gave me a one month prescription. Do you feel that she jumped the gun in prescribing me medication rather than trying to lower it on my own. And Its only a 1 month prescription and they want to see me back, I was under the impression that you need to be on it for about 3 months in order to see results.. Any Opions would be greatly appreciated.
A: Obviously, you should try to make lifestyle changes to lower your cholesterol. It’s definitely not as bad as some peoples’ cholesterol levels. This doesn’t always work, though, as scientists have discovered that genetics plays a large role in cholesterol levels. Some people who are in otherwise excellent physical health, still suffer from exorbitant cholesterol levels. Lipitor (atorvastatin) will show results fairly quickly, but three months would be optimal, as your doctor can see more of a long term change.
I could say a lot of negative things regarding why doctors are so eager to hand out prescriptions for everything under the sun (I am a pharmacist in the US), but I won’t second-guess your doctor. Here on YA!, I can’t see you and run tests, and only your doctor knows what’s going on with you, specifically.
Communication with your health care professionals is key to your good health. Don’t be afraid to speak up and be a firm, demanding advocate for your own health. Many doctors would probably be happy if more people would. When patients are complacent, it spreads easily. You seem to be an exception, so good for you in taking an active role in managing your health!
Tell your doctors of your concerns, and see if he or she will work out something whereby you can attempt to lower your cholesterol levels without possibly hepatotoxic (liver damaging) medication. Until then, theoretically, you won’t be any worse off by not taking the Lipitor, but I have to recommend following your doctor’s advice. Stay away from grapefruit, too! Good luck.
Q: High Cholesterol – Prescribed Lipitor – 1 month only. Will that do anything?…?

A: You won’t see any changes for 3-4 months.
Q: lipitor, zocur, zetia, vytorin ADVERTISING?
i’m doing a marketing research project for a high school competition, and we (my partner and i) are basically researching on how to improve marketing for a cholesterol pill company.
in order to do so effectively, we need to evaluate the competing cholesterol pill companies and how they advertise…
we obviously can’t go to these companies and ask them exactly how they advertise their pill.. so, if you could please write down whatever types of ads you know each cholesterol company participates in, that would be great..
also, since this is a project, we need to show where we got our sources, so if you could just email me your name and position that would also be great! if not, a website of where you got the info would be just as good..
thank you!
A: You should research 2 companies by examining their websites and determine what kind of advertising they have. I think this is what yout teacher intended.

Q: Just wondered if lipitor can make you get dizzy and fall.?
Ive been taking lipitor since last summer and twice this past wk i fell , at first i thought maybe i tripped over some yaktraxs that i wear for snow and ice but wondered if i fell first and then the yaktraxs caught on my pants or shoelaces. also, lately ive gotten headaches every day and ive been bruising too but not every day. ive talked to my doctor about the headaches and the bruises but nothing came of it. i saw an endocrinologist but because the tests came back normal she never bothered ordering other tests and now im stick stuck with symptoms that i cant do nothing about cause tests come back normal, i had a bone density test come back high risk but the bone scan was normal and because of that i couldnt get on hormones. im 47, ive been taking stuff like black cohosh and soy stuff and that seems to help. im on my last bottle of lipitor and wondered if i should just take niacin, i lost a lot of weight so my cholesterol went down,do people take cholesterol meds forever?
A: There are a lot of terrible side effects linked with the use of Lipitor, and other cholesterol lowering drugs. (The link below is to lipitors’ official site, and lists many of the side effects).
It is scary that your doctor is ignoring these life threatening side effects that you are having. It’s not my business, but maybe you should get a new doctor who cares more about his’ or hers’ patients.
That being said, here’s some information I hope will help you-
“Numerous adverse side effect reports have implicated Lipitor as a possible cause for severe neuromuscular degeneration. Some people who have been using Lipitor for two years or more report symptoms similar to multiple sclerosis or ALS – Lou Gehrig’s Disease – in which they are losing neuromuscular control of their bodies.”
“For instance, in an article entitled “Life After Lipitor” that appeared in the newspaper Tahoe World on January 27, 2004, Tahoe City (California) resident Doug Peterson began having serious neuromuscular problems after taking Lipitor for two years. He began losing muscular coordination and slurring words when he spoke. Then he lost balance, followed by loss of fine motor skills – he had difficulty writing. He went from doctor to doctor, trying to figure out what could be happening. Finally one doctor suggested that he stop taking Lipitor, and the downward health spiral stopped and his health is now slowly improving.”
The reason for Lipitor’s side effects are that “Lipitor is a “statin” drug which inhibits the production of cholesterol in order to lower LDL cholesterol counts. By limiting the production of cholesterol, Lipitor may be indirectly causing membrane degeneration in neural and muscle tissue.
Cholesterol is essential in your body for many functions. It forms part of what is called the cell membrane – the outer layer of every cell in your body. It helps transport and pack the major components of the cell membrane, called “phospholipids,” that are made from essential fatty acids (EFAs). Without sufficient cholesterol we would die, because our tissues are constantly being repaired and replaced with new cells.
Our body produces several thousand milligrams of cholesterol per day to carry out these essential functions, and each day the excess of cholesterol is supposed to be naturally recycled. If your body doesn’t have enough new cholesterol each day, you cannot repair and replace your cell membranes and they will eventually degenerate.
What is most horrifying about this problem is that cholesterol balance can be achieved without drugs, simply and safely by taking 2000-3000 milligrams of vitamin C per day for an adult. Unfortunately, vitamin C was misclassified as a micronutrient in the 1930s and 1940s, rather than an essential nutrient involved in dozens of body processes. Our health authorities recommend that we take only 60 milligrams per day, barely enough to prevent scurvy.”
In the medical class I am currently in, we discussed how lipitor lowers Co Q10 or Ubiquinone, which is important to for the mitochondria (the “power plants” of our cells) to make ATP. This relates to why people also feel tired, or have sore muscles when they are on lipitor.
My advice would be to get off lipitor and stay active and eat healthy. These spells of dizzyness are a result of lipitor, and if it resulted in you falling and hitting your head, I doubt that it’s worth lower cholesterol. Your doctor is making money off of you, without even tending to your concerns. It’s your body, do what you feel is best, not every doctor knows best. I think the brusing, headaches, and dizzyness is telling you something, listen to the warning signs.
You could also look up some natural remedies to lower your cholesterol, you are correct, niacin indeed naturally lowers cholesterol. There are links attached with entire lists of ways to naturally lower cholesterol.
I hope you get better and be careful with yourself, until your dizzy spells are gone.
Q: I have fibromyalgia and the statins the cardiologist puts me on are causing muscle spasms in my back and sides
I have fibromyalgia and the statins my cardiologist put me on cause side and back spasms.My primary doctor, as well as the mail order pharmacist, questioned my being put on Lescol when I had bad reations to Lipitor and Crestor.Since Fibromyalgia weakens the muscles and immune system, it doesn’t make sense to me to be taking a statin that is known to do the same thing.Should I try a natural form of cholesterol reducing suppliment?I just paid $55. for Lescol 40mg and I am afraid to try it because I still have side spasms from taking Lescol 80mg, although I only took it for a few days,Thank you for an educated reply.
A: I also suffur from fibromyalgia and went thru similar episodes and side effects. I refused to use any statin meds now talk to your doc about Lyrica it does help for some. The side effects have outweighed the benifits for me so I have chosen to use other methods try a homeopathic doctor I now take sublingual b vitamins and this helps with my fibromyalgia pain Good Luck
Q: Question involving bringing prescription medicine over border from Canada to United States?
So our politics professor was talking about this in class, but I kind of got confused and after class he didn’t help in his explanation, so I thought I’d ask the geniuses here. 
So Person A, who is a physician him or herself, normally orders prescription medicine (such as Lipitor) from the US, but does something different for a change. He asks another physician he or she knows, who lives in Canada, and asks him or her to write the prescription for him to a Canadian pharmacy. Person A then has a relative or friend who lives in Canada bring the prescription from the pharmacy to him in the United States. Was any crime committed? Is any person at risk of facing legal trouble? If so, please help me understand how. Thanks
A: I wouldn’t think so. as long as the medicine is legal in America,
Q: Any vitamin experts out there?
I just want to confirm that my combination of vitamins and meds is ok, and that I’m not doing damage to myself. I take the recommended dosage of GNC’s Mega Men multi-vitamin, which likely isn’t harmful. However, because of a bad family history with heart disease, I also take 80 mg of Lipitor every day (per doc’s orders), two baby aspirins and extra L-Arginine. I think it’s an ok combination, but sometimes I worry about things like liver damage, kidney stones, etc.
Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!
A: You should really check with your pharmacist or Dr. As in many cases purchased vitamins often give you more than you could possibly ever need and can easily affect prescrption drugs, have it checked soon
Q: Treating an aneurysm?
I am 48, in pretty decent health, not overweight, and a non smoker for about 5 weeks now. A few weeks ago I experianced extream double vision on my way to work, I felt very odd after and had headaches and ringing in my ears for a few hours. I work at a medical office, (opthamology) so they decided to get my blood pressure and it was very high for me…155 over 98, about 3 hours after the double vision insident. I went to my doctor and he felt I had experianced a mini stroke and ordered MRI’s and a MRA of my brain. It discovered a small aneurysm on the left side of my brain. I have now been referred to a neurologist, and put on 2 blood thinning meds and my lipitor script was doubled although my cholestorol was not horrible. So what should I expect, are there medications to takew care of this, or am I looking at surgury? I am trying to stay calm about this, but I feel way too young to be going threw this!
A: Keep your chin up girl!!
You have done everything right so far. Make sure to keep all your follow up appts and get a 2nd opinion. Even if you love love your doc, always get a 2nd opinion. Better to have 2 heads than 1. Also, it helps to have a close friend or family member go with you to appts, to help remember what the doctor says…and to help you remember any questions you may have wanted to ask.

Q: Help!! Im having really bad symptoms lately, and it’s super horrible!?
It all started like 3 weeks ago.I had chest pain the doctor said that it was a spam coronary, that’s what he said. After an overnight at the hospital they prescribed me a bunch of pills for my heart treatment, when i’ve never had problem with my heart. So anyway i did take them like the doctor said, but those pills were giving me gasses, stomach aches, pinches, heartburn i mean you name it, the pills were LIPITOR, PLAVIX, CORAZEM, ASPIRIN and another that i dont remember now…so i when again to the doctor and he ordered me to do and (ecc) and an electrocardiagram, everything came out fine but thru the days i was feeling with anxiety, panics attacks, chills, pinches i mean…..so now i take TAFIL to ease me down, i guess its a drug.i read it on the internet…. anyway, im still having those weirds symptoms from time to time….if anybody can advise me or has an opinion please me be my guest! I really feel scare of dying because of it,or maybe its just a fear, thank you 4 ur help! DAVE
I’ve gone to 3 different Cardiologist and none of them tell me what’s wrong. They said to take it easy and relax. I dont know whatelse to do.
A: Hey bud it’s simple, if you have any doubts about your doctor I would have a second opinion especially if it is your heart that your dealing with that is nothing to let go for to long. Just keep your head up and be strong it will all get worked out just go and get a second opinion. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Q: Is there a safer medication for high cholesterol than Statins?
Is there another medication out there that is safe to take that will lower cholesterol?
The doc ordered Crestor and I read up on it and decided I didn’t want to take it.
I was on Lipitor but I was developing muscle pain.
I tried Cholest-off, but it’s not strong enough.
I have the heriditary kind of high cholesterol.
I went on a no-fat diet for 2 months, lost 20 lbs and no change in my cholesterol.
I rarely eat fried foods, etc…
I also have Graves disease, had RAI 12/05 and I’m on Synthroid and Inderol.
A: Ask your doctor if niacin is safe for you, there have been alot of good results from that. There are some side effects such as facial flushing but generally considered safer than the statins. Also, fish oil tablets. You can buy over the counter . Take 1000 mg 3 times a day. My doctor says that his patients have had excellent results with that. I just started it myself at his recommendation. Remember also, healthy diet and regular exercise is still sooo important even if you are on medication. Did you know that thyroid disease can cause false elevations of you cholesterol levels. Make sure that your thyroid is within normal range if you want true readings.
