Starting statins with concerns
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: 3 hours ago | Replies (11)Comment receiving replies
Consult your cardiologist about your concerns. Many interactions are
minor and theoretical. They likely have experience with all of these meds used
safely in tandem over the years. There are beneficial effects of statins beyond
lipid lowering. The same is true for CoQ10 and its general antioxidant benefits. I regret being hesitant about going on statins sooner rather than
age 70.

Excellent idea to speak with cardiologist re taking any new meds. I had a couple of events that were causing issues due to interaction (prescribed by other docs than my cardiologist.)We got the problem fixed but from now on I always check with his office first.
