Who here is on a statin?
- Thread starter Juicedhead
- Start date
One of the popular pct vendors here who generally has good prices on drugs has pretty poorly priced rosuvastatin (it is branded crestor though), so I asked him if he could source cheaper and he has come back to me with "dr morepen" brand which is cheap as fuck in comparison at 1.50 per strip of 10.
Has anyone heard of or had any experience with that brand?

Then changed your statin rosuvastatin isn’t good for kidney switch to atorvastatin but double the dose for same effects

My kidney is fine. I’ve been using Rosuvastatin for years. But I tore my groin muscle in 2 places which the doc considers a serious enough injury to throw off my labs. Plus doxycycline is hard on the liver and kidney but I only used it for 7 days. My next labs in 2 weeks will look much better.
The poster had indicated that they have a good history using rosuvastatin plus ezetimibe so why recommend a different therapy without stating what benefits there would be for the change? You might find people more open to your opinions if you offer evidence to support them.
Yeah, a severely damaged muscle will bump your creatinine, BUN and potassium while dropping GFR as would be seen in CKD. Likewise, the doxycycline would similarly affect those numbers.
As the muscle heals and your infection subsides, your numbers should return to normal. Best wishes on your recovery!

Lot of studies shows that in case of kidney failure atorvastatin is more safe than rosuvastatin
Because rosuvastatin is more metabolized by kidneys and atorvastatin is liver

Because if you could read English well you’d know I didn’t say I have kidney failure. My labs are showing signs of kidney issues due to a serious injury and toxic effects of doxycycline.

And so you stop the antibiotic ?
And do you think rosuvastatin will help a kidney injury ?

Doxycycline was a short 7 day cycle. And again, I don’t have a kidney injury. Toxic meds and a serious bodily injury are screwing my labs up. 30 days ago my labs were perfect.

Post links.
Morons?
You are a child attempting to give guidance to adults without any evidence in support of your claims other than stating that you are a pharmacy technician which is just as good as a pharmacist with an actual degree. This is why people are disliking your post.
Posting an assertion as fact and then suggesting that others should search google to support your assertion is the height of intellectual laziness.
Support your assertions or get the fuck out. I would debunk your assertion, but there's no need as it's clear already that nobody believes it.

How many guys in this thread are in kidney failure? You are misinterpreting the information you are reading and jumping to conclusions that make no sense. Rosu isn't going to put you in kidney failure nor is it going to damage your kidneys. It just should not be taken by people who's kidneys are failing or near failure. See the difference?
Tylenol is hard on the liver and people with liver failure shouldn't take it. Do you think that means none of us should use Tylenol?
Atorvastatin is the original statin and generally speaking a "rougher" drug with more and higher incidence of side effects than the newer statins. Nothing inherently wrong with it and it is still a fairly safe drug with low side effect incidence and likely most of us would be fine using it, but I'd rather use the most effective and lowest side effect version available.

No, not in English.
To underscore the excellent points you raise about the nature of folks' misunderstanding about statins, here's some more food for thought.
The current guidance from the American Diabetes Association directs physicians to start patients on a low dose statin when beginning insulin or even pre-diabetic therapy (ie metformin). It's a bit of a judgement call when there is no prior cardiovascular condition, but a definite if there is.
That is a useful data point for two reasons: 1) diabetes can be pretty rough on the kidneys and 2) the guidance comes from studies (albeit epidemiological ones) that show better outcomes even in populations with higher rates of kidney injury.
No drug is purely benign, but people talk about statins like they're DNP and Tren mixed with an experimental COVID vaccine. Lipitor probably single-handedly kept life expectancy going up while 3/4th of American adults were still smoking two packs a day. The shit is safe with minimal side effects for almost everyone who takes it. The caveat is folks with compromised kidneys, and they shouldn't be freelancing their medication to begin with.

Having people dislique your comments en masse is your queue to slow your role around here. We've already established that you're a young guy fresh out of college with big dick energy who thinks he's the smartest person in the room. Nobody here appreciates that shit. The gung-ho rookie spirit you have will do you well in your day job, but all it's going to do around here is irritate people. Maybe that's because we're all incredibly stupid humans compared to you. If you're uncomfortable with that, you can always leave.
What you can't do is stay here if you're going to keep giving advice about drugs you have no personal experience with, and insulting the intelligence of anyone who disagrees with what you have to say.
It's not going to work for you. You'll be gone in short order if you don't take a breath and have a look around. We aren't a bunch of 20 year-old college grads. A lot of us are old enough to be your dad, and frankly don't have patience for 23 year-old blow hards.

Would love opinions on red yeast rice here.
I’ve heard on a Justin Harris podcast that the active statin isnt allowed to be sold, yet people still get results on their bloodwork? Is COQ10 essential?
If this stuff is proven to work, curious to know why to opt for a medication over a more accessible alternative, assuming QC isnt a concern?

It is a less refined statin if you can get the real thing which isn’t available for sale in the US. My relatively well-informed opinion is that it has no benefit vs. a statin. If one is concerned about side effects and is not in dire need of a powerful statin, then a very low dose of Rosuvastatin should do the trick.
