Thanks for your response. How about adding Co-Q10 and omega 3XL into the mix?
Brief Answer:
co enzyme q and simvastatin- minor insignificant interaction
Detailed Answer:
HI
Sorry about delayed response
There is a possible minor interaction of co enzyme Q with simvastatin, simvastatin can decrease its levels.
This is not considered a significant interaction.
Since it can potentially cause a decrease in blood pressure, you would also need to monitor your readings to make sure the combination of co enzyme and blood pressure meds, do not cause the readings to drop too low
In terms of omega 3, there are no interactions with the medications or herbal supplements mentioned
