"Examining the Legitimacy of Statin Side Effects: Is Muscle Pain a Valid Concern?"
A reader shares their experience with statins and severe muscle pain, which was alleviated by taking CoQ10 alongside the medication. However, the effectiveness of CoQ10 in reducing statin-induced myalgia remains inconclusive. Another reader asks about Vazalore, a new enteric-coated aspirin formulation, but there is limited evidence to support its efficacy in preventing stomach irritation and bleeding. Additionally, a reader complains about the unpleasant smell of bupropion pills, which may indicate manufacturing flaws. The column also mentions the availability of cheaper brand-name medications from reputable online Canadian pharmacies.
