Advice

  1. Just been prescribed Simvastatin 40mg for my cholesterol (which is 5.1). I also have raised BP and recently diagnosed diabetic; although neither is high and I am not overweight.

    My question is: I am 60 with a 45 year old partner. We have a very active sex life and I am paranoid that if I start taking the Simvastatin it will ruin that part of our life.

    Does any Simvastatin user have experience of it adversely affecting their sex life.

    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

  2. Hi

    Yes certainly I have .....

    Have now stopped taking it and feel better, not back to normal yet....... but have recently started taking high amounts of Vit C, not Orange variety though. Diet seems the best way to go, should have done it earlier,
