My thoughts exactly! When you go to doctors, they want to know all the meds you are taking, all the numbers like cholesterol, bp etc, but seldom do they ask what you eat or your lifestyle. If they ask a patient to describe what's in his/her pantry or refrigerator, they would probably have been able to diagnose the patient's health issue with better clarity. I'm getting a loop implant to test fir afib and my doctor also puts me on zeralto and statin even though my cholesterol level is ok. I'm taking CO Q10 as statin depletes me of coq10 in my body. I called zeralto and they don't know if it will interfere with the medication.

mayofeb2020 @mayofeb2020,

The drug company does not know the side effects? Typical of those businesses. I can access this information through my Naturopath. He has more access to the literature than I do, so when in doubt I visit him at his office.

May I make a suggestion. Our hospital blood thinning lab was staffed with a pharmacist. They knew the foods to avoid.

I spoke with my doctor about CO Q10 when he put me on xarelto and he said it was ok.
