[QUOTE="smidge, post: 460443, member: 29301"] Not used statins myself, but my trigs are always significantly better when I have been taking more exercise and drinking less wine. In terms of statins, both my parents were on Simvastatin until middle last year and out of the blue their GP wrote to them and said it has been shown to ineract badly with several other drugs and he was taking them off it and putting them on Atorvastatin instead. Apparently the MHRA wrote to all GPs drawing their attention to the following: [url]http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Safetyinformation/DrugSafetyUpdate/CON180637[/url] So I'd probably avoid Simvastatin just as a precaution.
