Re: Re: Other drugs for MS - Statins

[Guest guest]

Hey Guys,

Google the statin drugs and read the side effects. I wonder if the nutriceuticals used very effectively to lower cholesterol would help with MS?

If you do take statins, be sure to increase your CoQ 10 as they severely deplete that co-enzyme in the body.

The dosage is much higher than that used for cholesterol control and poses a real hazard to your liver, as well as other body systems.

[low dose naltrexone] Re: Other drugs for MS

I actually did heard about using the cholestoral drug for MS from my husband's neurologist.

[Guest guest]

I have been on this drug now for two months as my Dr. OKayed it. In Canada it's called Actos and is really expensive, I went out on a limb with this stuff as I am chronic progressive and don't have "attacks" anyway, but in an effort to limit the symptoms why not?

Well so far no harm done but also no results,as to be expected.

Actos is a medicine to help diabetics maintain blood sugar control... I am not aware of it having any use in managing MS, other than the obvious need to control blood sugar if diabetic. I don't remember the names of all of the statins, but Zocor is one of them. There are several, very similar in chemical makeup and action.

Hi Reg,

Did you get that info I sent you on the two compounding pharmacies here

in Edmonton? Hope so. If not, let me know and will forward them to

you again,

Yes thankyou Kathy

I was wondering if I should get in touch with them as I now have a new prescription from my Dr.he makes it up for three months at a time.

I was thinking that if I could divide up this one prescription between pharmacys it would be interesting but maybe too much headaches.

Heck I don't even know if that's possible.

You are getting good results from there though right?

My husband uses Actos for his diabetes; it has been very useful. However, it is not a statin drug and has nothing to do with cholesterol. Two entirely different drugs, not related at all.

The statin he was taking to reduce his cholesterol made him so foggy headed and forgetful he finally quit taking it. Actually, he tried a couple of them with the same side effect. I also used Zocor for a while and gave it up because I am already stupid enough; I don't need a drug that makes me more forgetful...

Hi Reg,

Actually...not impressed so far with Dispensaries LTD. since they told

me last Fri. that it would be ready by 4:30. Well we weren't able to

p/u anyway and they are closed on weekends. We were prepping walls all

weekend in our home and had friends over all day yesterday painting so

didn't call them til this morning. It turns out they're naltrexone was

out of date and still dont have any in. Was not impressed that they

didn't call to tell me that cause we could have shown up Fri. They

will call within the next 2 days and do have home delivery to our area

of the city. My drug store is Shoppers and one of their pharmacists

sent it to Dispensaries LTD. without asking my preference (so another

mix up there). I will have them send it to Shoppers in Tara Losa

shopping centre and have it couriered to ours Shoppers next time. Its

just closer to home. Shoppers is generally more reliable.

Thanks kathy

I kinda think that Joe at "The Dispensary" is doing the best he can and keeps a supply of premade 1.5mg caps on hand so maybe come Jan. I will be using his services anyway. I never asked what you paid for your pills but I believe that it was cheap enuf.
