Pravastatin

Pravastatin (10mg) for atherosclerosis

My experience is that of going to the toilet a lot at night. It is stated in the patient information leaflet but maybe more users have also had this unpleasant experience; and not being able to sleep through and then being tired when you do have to get up?

Perindopril

Perindopril (2mg) for atherosclerosis

After I'd had an angioplasty and was still having problems, like my heart sounding hollow after exercise, I was prescribed this medicine by the cardiologist. When I went to get it from the pharmacy, I heard from one of the assistants that one of its side effects was a dry cough, and I'd be lucky not to develop one.

Clopidogrel

Clopidogrel (75mg) for atherosclerosis

Because I've had an operation on my carotid artery, I have to take clopidogrel 75A for the rest of my life. I've got diarrhoea, coughing fits and I'm short of breath when I walk or cycle. The itching wasn't fun either. After I had the branded Teva, I got an unbranded version and the problems got worse. My GP has now prescribed me Plavix, it's more expensive and the most popular at my insurers. ...

Simvastatin (40mg) for atherosclerosis

I was reading stuff on this site and I was truly terrified when I saw what simvastatine can do to a person. It's making me cough my lungs up since the operation. (My aorta was replaced in 2012 and that's why I have Simvastatin Actavis 40 mg). Can anyone give me any advice?
