Hepatic hemangioma and CoQ10?
by mimosa000, Sep 23, 2009 12:17PM
Dear doctors,
Could you please let me know if patients with hepatic hemangiomas can take CoQ10 supplement? My father has hypertension and I've read CoQ10 might be a good natural treatment for him but he also has several hemangiomas in the liver with the largest one of around 7cm long. His liver function is normal. To lower his blood pressure effectively my father might need a daily dose of 100mg to 200mg of CoQ 10. The possible side effects of CoQ10 is elevation of liver enzymes according to some information online. I'm not sure if it's true and if a daily dose of 200mg CoQ10 is safe for my father's Hepatic hemangiomas? Thanks in advance for your advice!
Sincerely,
mimosa000

a lot of patients who have various liver conditions take CoQ 10 and frankly I am not aware that it causes any liver problem whatsoever. i would say that it is definitely safe for him to take.
