Yes.
It is safe to take aspirin while you're taking Simvastatin for high cholesterol unless your doctor has advised you otherwise.
Probably. Simvastatin isn't as potent as rosuvastatin, though, so if you are taking a high dose of rosuvastatin, then you may not be able to get an equivalent dose of simvastatin. Give your doctor a call and ask if he or she will write you a prescription for simvastatin instead.
I would check with a doctor first.
Simvastatin and Tylenol should be fine to take together. You can check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure that it is a good combination for you.
Calcium carbonate (Caltrate) should be taken with meals since it requires stomach acid to dissolve and absorb. Also, calcium carbonate has the most calcium per pill (40%), therefore you need to take fewer pills. In some people, calcium carbonate causes constipation. Calcium citrate (Citracal) can be absorbed on an empty stomach and is not as dependent on stomach acid for absorption. However, it has less calcium per pill (20%), so you have to take more pills. It does not cause constipation.
I use a very good supplement - Caltrate Plus - it has vitamin D plus minerals which the bones need; I have Osteoporosis - thinning of the bones through lose of calcium - I discovered that vitamin D is essential for the bones to absorb calcium better - the other mierals in Caltrate ,also enhance the body's absorption of this essential vitamin. We all need more calcium as we age - women in particular. Calcium on its own is not enough - the other vitamins & minerals are necessary for healthy bones. many supermarkets as well as chemists stock Caltrate Plus - the purple box.
Simvastatin is not an MAOI.
Caltrate can actually be purchased at many different stores, as well as online. Some of these include Walgreens (in store and the website) and Amazon.
