Super Mario Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 The doctors are aware of the contra indications and there is another drug that can be taken to lower cholesterol that is not a statin. Only usually given when statins don't suit and there is no other alternative. Ask the medics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi SB This happened to my Mum when she came out of hospital. We contacted them and they did find one that was ok with her condition and other medications she was taking etc. As Super Mario has said, ask the medics and get peace of mind. Take care xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Good Morning SB I`m just stating the obvious- I find it hard to believe that such professional medics can cause any uncertainty about the drugs they prescribe following the serious life-threatening cases they deal with on a regular basis. Matching patient-condition-appropriate drugs seems to be the foundation of understanding each case- It surely must be second nature for all these things to be considered together. Hope your concerns are resolved quickly Send my best wishes to Kelley Subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
