The information on Statin comes from my Mayo Cardiologist. He was referring to the dosage and the 40 mg pill as maximum dose size pill. I was on a lessor dosage at first which required me to break the pill and raised it to 40 mg for convience.

Prescribed medications the amount can be higher of course based on need and degree of plaque that your doctor wants for you. I don't know what is on manufactures web site as there are many manufactures of Statins and probably by FDA have to set maxium levels.

My posts was to say I did not have any side affects with the statin but I was already taking Co-Q-10. The taking of the Co-Q-10 came from my heart failure doctor who is the Director of Heart Failure and Transplant at Mayo.

My wife though was put on a very low statin dosage and experienced muscle pain. I told her about the Co-Q-10 and she took it (after discussing with her doctor) and got improvement. I think it is a personal think in what works for one or good for one person my not be good or work for another. Every drug, every supplement, have a side affect. It is a good ones that we want and not any negative ones.
