A member asked:
Should co q 10 be taken with statin drugs to help with side effect of muscle aches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With caution: Statins (I checked for atorvastatin and pravastatin specifically) "decrease levels of coenzyme 10 by an unspecified interaction mechanism". This is considered to be a "minor or non-significant interaction." http://reference.medscape.com/drug-interactionchecker Hope that helps.
