Statins, Co-Q10 and fatigue

Posted by FredPotter on April 16, 2007, at 14:26:31

I read recently that statins, like Lipex or Lipitor, eventually cause the depletion of Co-Q10 which amongst other things can cause fatigue. The strongly-worded source of this information said that any Dr who prescribes a statin without prescribing Co-Q10 is guity of malpractice

Hi Fred,

I've also read that statins may deplete Co-Q10. I'm curious if there is testing available to identify Co-Q10 deficiency.

Peace...Saturn.
