Statin intolerance and alternative lipid lowering options
I had a side effect from Statin and it was advised to stop it. Later on advised to start Zetia but was not effective for me and doctor advised me to stop it. Do you recommend other options?
Want to steer away from specific clinical recommendations on the forum. Broadly, you may DISCUSS following potential options with your physician. They may nor may NOT apply to your specific situation: 1. Switching to a different statin 2. Use of concomitant Co-Q 10 or vitamin D (particularly if serum level is low) 3. Use of a class of medications called PCSK-9 inhibitors such as Repatha and Praluent Again, these are not specific recommendations for you but areas to explore with your clinician
