Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Lipitor at any strength is not good - I think that all should get off them quickly, many will help you with what he should take to reduce his cholesterol. Regards Marianne I am very concerned about my fiance, he is high risk for heart disease, I think due to the insulin dependent diabetes. The problem is he takes Lipitor daily. I have only just found out about the many dangers of statins from this forum! I was so surprised, but anyway my question is he thinks because he only takes 10mg a day, that it won't affect him in any negative way. Apparently his pharmacist said only those on high doses need worry about all the things statins like Lipitor cause... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Salutations All, I have never posted here before, so let me quickly introduce myself, Im a 32 yr old living in Sydney, Australia, with a Bipolar, OCD, Diabetic, wonderful (believe it or not) fiance of 5 years. I am only just learning about alternative medicine and all its benefits, I feel like I have been in the dark for so long. I learn so much from these digests, and am so glad I d to this group. I don't post because I don't have any real knowledge on the topics/threads, but I appreciate the collective wisdom of you all! I am very concerned about my fiance, he is high risk for heart disease, I think due to the insulin dependent diabetes. The problem is he takes Lipitor daily. I have only just found out about the many dangers of statins from this forum! I was so surprised, but anyway my question is he thinks because he only takes 10mg a day, that it won't affect him in any negative way. Apparently his pharmacist said only those on high doses need worry about all the things statins like Lipitor cause... This just doesn't feel right to me, can anyone please tell me is he safe because of a low dose?2 Is there a safe dose of Lipitor?? Thanking you for your time and help in advance.
