[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 569883, member: 45322"] Absolutely, pharma companies are shareholder and profit-driven. Personally I think they're too shareholder driven. I too also disagree with underhand tactics such as doctor bribery etc. My point isn't about that. It's that, it's that drug trials run by pharma companies are extremely safety and regulatory driven. There will always be exceptions when something hits the headlines, but even in those cases, there was likely to be a reasonable answer as to why safety statistics weren't reported. Sanguine, I do believe that CoQ10 is prescribed to people who suffer from statin-induced muscle aches. If you don't suffer from the symptoms of CoQ10 deficiency, then chances are, you don't have the deficiency, or it is tolerable. I wouldn't want to take drugs I don't need. Taking CoQ10 can cause stomach upsets, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes and low blood pressure. So, there probably were safety considerations when deciding to not include it with the statin. [/QUOTE]
