[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 860547, member: 17713"] From my experience of GPs and statins... 1) if you report muscle problems after taking them or any side effects including getting T2 diabetes THEY should report these on the yellow caed system to the MHRA and update records... In the last 6 years due to moving house and having multi GP practices ai have seen at least 10 GP... Told wvery single one of them I do not tolerate statins. Not one has updated my medical records OR informed MHRA on the yellow card system that GPs should use.... I have asked on a form for my notes to be fully reviewed and for me to review them with a medical person because last year my consultant (i have copy of the letter) wrote to my GP clearly telling them I was intolerant to statins... Now that I have access to my medical records on line ai know this note was not correctly actioned.. 2) how many people actually take the time out to check their GP reports side effects to any drugs? 3) how many patients don't bother to report. It is so eady to do online. Unless GPs start reporting and recording statin side effects or any side effects properly or patients then its always going to be biased in favour of the drug companies. If users of Metformin reported diaorhhea etc and the GPs actioned it properly it would have been banned by now and just the SR being available. If patients have side effects to sny tablet or medical equipment it is imperative they are reported. AND your files updated. [/QUOTE]
