There may be a few things to worry about being prescribed such a high dose of simvastatin.

1. Your cholesterol must be off the charts to require such a high dose of simvastatin putting you at risk of Heart disease. With lifestyle modifications and drug therapy, you can reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke.

2. All drugs have side effects. Simvastatin may cause a condition know as rhabdomyolisis (muscle rupture). It may also have negative effects upon the liver.

Why change from rosuvastatin to simvastatin this is an instrution from Liverpool pct?

Cost. Branded statins make up a signicicant part of prescribing budgets. Rosuvastatin is a proprietary branded statin and is expensive. Generic Simvastatin is now available and prescribers are being instructed to change patients on to the cheaper drugs. Simvastatin is effective and for primary prevention ie to lower cholesterol in those who have not had a cardiac event it is likely to be entirely adequate therapy.

Should you be worried usually get a regular period but it is 3 days late now and during the month you have had sex with your partner but have used condoms should you be worried?

No you should not be worried. There are many things that can cause a period to be late even if you are regular. Being stressed, worried, anxious, stuff like that can throw it off by a few days to even a week. Like if you're worried about the possibility of being pregnant, and you know you took all the right steps in preventing a pregnancy, and there were no oppsies. You're just psyching yourself out, and that stress can actually delay a period. If you don't get your period within a week of when you normally start, do take a pregnancy test or consult your doctor. Hope this helps. Best of luck :)
