Is taking candesartan, coenzyme Q10 & simvastatin everyday for a year for hypertension and atherosclerosis?

candesartan 6am
coenzyme q10 noon
simvastatin 9pm
everyday for a year...is this safe?

thanks everyone for your answers.

i remain unsure if i should let my father take these 3.

my father has hypertension and aterosclerosis. the cardiologist prescribed candesartan and simvastatin. together for 7 months now,they've lowered my father's BP and blood bad cholesterol level.

however, i have read that simvastatin depletes coenzymeQ10 levels in the body. reduction of coenzymeQ10 in the body may cause other cardiovascular, muscular and even neurotic (like alzheimer's or parkison's?) problems.

hence,i'd like to ask my father to start coenzymeQ10 supplementation.

i've asked the cardiologist,but she had no idea what coenzymeQ10 is.

my father is not willing to see more doctors and is stubborn.

i've read online that coenzymeQ10 may actually improve the beneficial effects of blood pressure medications but it does not specifically mention candesartan. so now,i'm really confused.

any cardiologists in yahoo?

Good quality Q10 is good for your heart and can reduce your blood pressure.

both aterosclerosis is caused by plaque build up which narrows the passage way for blood to flow which increases the blood pressure the candesartan is for blood pressure and the simvastin is to lower cholesterol prevent futher narrowing or complete occlusion of blood vessels

Hi. Think of it this way:
- candesartan is a blood-pressure reduction medication.
- simvastatin is an "artery clean-up" medication, keeping the arteries clean by lowering cholesterol levels. The drugs in the "statin" family are the latest line of defence that medicine came up to fight high cholesterol and they seem to be doing a pretty good job at it.
- conezyme Q10 is more like a vitamin that helps the function of the heart and circulatory system. It can actually make your heart pump more efficiently, thus reducing blood pressure.
This looks pretty much safe to me. Remember that treatment for those diseases is/can be a lifetime challenge.Those drugs HAVE to be safe before everything.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
