Co-Enzyme Q 10 (100 mg daily) Stops Statin Leg Pain
Hi, I'm taking 20 mg Atorvastatin and my legs were aching. My great Cardiologist told me that statin medications rob the body of the supplement Co Q 10 and taking 100 mg a day would alleviate the problem. I take now Co-enzyme Q 10 100 mg daily and it totally stopped the leg pain. Hope this is helpful to some.

That's why stations are given to people who have a parent that has had it like my Dad who died from it
As just came to know about Co Q10, I have written an enquiry message to a drug company, that seems to have
interest in this product. Though Pharmacy was not aware of it, well, few pharmacies are to be tried, as I have some
hope that I may get relief from pain in right thigh, with this supplement.
Oh, I understand what you're saying now. TY
My father too died of a myocardial infarction (heart) at 54! So, he must have had high cholesterol.
I have read the mayo-website about Coenzyme Q10; there are more benefits than risks. I hope to get it, asap. It is
strange that none of the 3-4 cardiology doctors, are aware of it? ( there are few merits and demerits for working
with healthcare providers in India.)
Lipid problems, in a limited no. of people, can be familial but, not many. If there is lipid screening, this gets to be
known and as a primary-preventive measure for CAD, this group requires proper dietary, lipid lowering drug therapy.
Both my parents had CAD and this is a non-modifiable risk factor, As many should know, modifiable are, like:
A).Aspirin prophylaxis, B).BP-control, C).Cholesterol-proper screening with lipid profile and get the numbers, to be optimal, D).Diabetes-proper management, E).Exercise-to avoid sedentary life style, F).Food-proper low fat diet, etc. This should be helpful for both primary and secondary prevention of CAD, in some people. Also, not to
under-emphasize , to stop or avoid smoking, as an important risk factor.

2 ReactionsI take 100 mg a day of co-enzyme Q 10 but - ask your doctor or other medical provider, but I have safely taken 300 mg and more- you may need to adjust the amountbut I'm not a Doctor. This site suggests 100 - 200 mg a day but you may want to look into dosing further to get the right amount for pain relief as I feel safe from my research taking 300 mg a day or more but I am NOT a doctor so you have to research dosing but mentioning this in case 100 mg isn't enough for your pain. Feel better.

The fact that your father passed from a heart attack may have absolutely nothing to do with cholesterol , it can be many things but to say that is assuming without the facts.
I know what happened. I was there. You weren't. I know the facts of it well.
What's CAD?
