Ezetrol contra statines
posted by Eduard J. Abendanon on 25 Oct 2005 at 1:24 pmSince 2000 I've been prescribed a statin to lower my cholesterol level. Two years later I couldn't walk for prolonged time and in general suffered severe musclepains in both legs. Finally after several 'second opinions' one doctor was so clever to look into the effects of the statine and stopped this medication. Last year I was prescribed the Ezetrol therapy. Results are great but my fear is what kind of effects can it give in the long term. The medicin is now 2 years widly prescribed and perhaps research has been done on these effects. Any idea - please let me know. I'll be most gratefull
Best regards,
Eduard Abendanon

| Ezetrol - Side Effects |

| I had been taking Ezetrol for about 6 months, but I after a few months I started to become constipated in an unusual way - it seemed as if balls of processed food were sticking to my large intestine (if I took laxatives, other food would pass by). I literally had to massage them free to gain relief on numerous occassions. This stopped when I stopped taking the medication. It seems as if in the bowel was absorbing more water from the stools for some reason. |
| Why Ezetrol ? |

| I'm 59 - female. My cholesterol: 7.5; spasms with statins-discontinued; recently started taking Ezetrol and ever since I have been constantly ferociously constipated - (20 years ago 80 cm of my intestine surgically taken out - adhesions); also have been experiencing unusual, lightning-like pain around hand and feet(finger and toe) bones. GP recommended me to take ezetrol with panadol! Now I feel really sick... |
| Co Q10 |

I had 3 by-pass in 2003. My problem is auricular fibrillation. My pulse is very irregular. I take every day : Coumadin one mg, Lanoxin 0.25, Metoprolol (50mg morning and 50mg evening). I also take Lipitor 20 mg. before going to bed. Would CoQ10 be beneficial for me? Thanks for your opinion. I am a woman, aged 79.
I feel very weak in the morning but the rest of the day is not bad. I rarely go out because I have shortness of breath and have to stop often when walking.. |

Six Months ago, I broke out in an itchy condition all over my body. It was not Hives and did not have any rash associated with the itching.
It was similar to having several hundred insect bites. The itching was preventing me from sleeping at night and was driving me insane. I tryed lotions, changing cloth materials, sheets, soaps, washing powders all to no avail. A chance conversation with my chemist resulted in me not taking my nightly tablet that night. Just by missing this one tablet I had the first nights sleep in six months |
| Tahore |

| Having been treated with Tahore over a long period, I suddenly got severe pain in both heels, diagnosed as tendinitis. Afew days later II ruptured the Achilles tendon of the left foot;,& had a walking plaster for 3 weeks. This was in January last . My foot is still still stiff , and although it is no longer painful, walking is difficult, (I can just about do the house work & do the shopping.) I now take Ezetrol, and as I already suffer from"rheumatic pains" these have become worse; Is there a connection? I also wonder if tests before these drugs go on the market are fiable. |
| Ezetrol And Itching |

Hi,my husband is 64 years old and has been put on Ezetrol since 8 months now and since them he has experienced itching in the eyes and face and it's driving him and me crazy. Since then he has been to a Dermatologist that has prescribe pills and cream for the face and lotion for the eyes......but that did not help.
So we started to think when this all began and we discover it all began with Ezetrol.... So since a few days ...the itching is practically gone..........so i guess he will go back to Lipitor which he had before for 4 years. Hope these comments will help |

| I have just been prescribed Ezetrol for my cholesterol of 10.20!! I'ts high because I've tried 6 other types of tablets and had bruising 3 times and muscular myopethy twice and have discontinued medication for a few years. The comments I'm reading are not giving me any hope that ezetrol will be any better for me. Does anyone really know what they are doing to people with these drugs. Turning healthy people into paranoid patients. |
