BACKGROUND Statins are widely used lipid-lowering drugs with immunomodulatory properties that may favor reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus infection. However, whether statins increase the risk of herpes zoster is unknown. METHODS We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study of Ontario residents aged ≥ 66 years between 1 April 1997 and 31 March 2010 to examine the asso...
The depletion of the essential nutrient CoQ10 by the increasingly popular cholesterol lowering drugs, HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), has grown from a level of concern to one of alarm. With ever higher statin potencies and dosages, and with a steadily shrinking target LDL cholesterol, the prevalence and severity of CoQ10 deficiency is increasing noticeably. An estimated 36 million Ameri...
BACKGROUND As use of a drug becomes widespread, the full spectrum of its effects becomes clearer. Although a link has been suggested between low or lowered cholesterol and irritability/aggression, less is known about possible links between irritability and statins. AIM To assess the possible connection of statin usage to severe irritability. DESIGN Case series. METHODS Six patients referr...
OBJECTIVES We sought to study the effect of long-term statin use on psychometric measures in an adult population with underlying coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested associations between cholesterol lowering and psychological well-being. METHODS Study subjects were recruited from an outpatient cardiology clinic. Psychological well-being was assessed at b...
Statins are a class of drugs used to lower total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol. Clinical trials performed over the last 25 years have shown that these agents are effective in improving cardiovascular outcomes in several different clinical settings. However, in some cases statin treatment may be associated with significant side effects and adverse reactions. The occurrence of the...
Among the range of lipid modifying medications currently available, statins clearly stand as the primary agent capable of reducing cardiovascular risk. While non-statin lipid-lowering drugs improve lipid parameters, their impact on clinical outcomes is less clear, thus necessitating an even closer look at ancillary effects. Recent studies have reported the potential cardiometabolic effects of s...
Introduction: Cataract is main cause of reversible blindness and visual impairment. Risk factors include anti-hyperlipidemic drugs such as statin. However, the mechanism statins a risk factor for cataracts not clear. The antioxidant effect statin reported in some studies while other showed negative results. This study was conducted to understand association cataract users with gene abnormalitie...
Lifelong Therapy Statins are among the most widely prescribed drugs. They reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events and improve survival in patients with established disease. Recommendations virtually mandate statin use in secondary prevention and widely advocate use for primary prevention. Clinicians initiate statin therapy with the expectation that the patient will continue lifelon...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We used a Japanese antihypertensive drug database to investigate the blood pressure-lowering effect of statins in hypertensive patients receiving antihypertensive medication. We also examined the class effect of antihypertensive drugs on blood pressure lowering by statins. MATERIAL AND METHODS The Risk/Benefit Assessment of Drugs-Analysis and Response (RAD-AR) Counci...
Statins are one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in clinical practice. They are usually well tolerated and effectively prevent cardiovascular events. Most adverse effects associated with statin therapy are muscle-related. The recent statement of the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) has focused on statin associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), and avoided the use of the term 'statin intole...
