To stop the muscle pain caused by statin, my doctor prescribed Questran Lite. Not only it never stopped the muscle pain, it gave me five other side effects - bloating, abdominal pain, itching around the anus, gas,dizziness and so forth.
I took this drug for about a week. I couldn't handle the extreme and long lasting upset stomach and gas pains. I gave it 1 star for effectiveness because if you can't handle the side effects, it doesn't work.
It eased itch for a while but back by the end of the day. Awaiting Gallbladder removal as CT showed stone such in duct. Itch developed 6 weeks after initial diagnosis.
I have stents in my bile ducts due to restrictions of the ducts. Questran assists in easing itching but by no means eliminates it. I am also taking Urso to assist in assisting bile to pass easier through my ducts. This has help bring my enzyme numbers down but priuitus still continues. Unfortunately, I believe it is something I will just have to live with.
everything i eat burns stomach. i don't have a gallbladder. i also have gastritis. should i be on high or low cholestrol diet. dr says it is some kind of bile problem
just started taking it
