Alinia plus simvastatin

Hi anybody using this combo.  I wonder if there are side effects.  Sim crosses the blood brain barrier and can cause insomnia.  So i take it in the morning then i can sleep at night.  

Does anyone notice side effects from taking both alinia or simvastation.  


I bought alinia from progressiveRX.  Can someone recommend a lab (anywhere in the world)  to test the purity.

I am not recommending only these two drugs to treat HBV.  Just trying to see if anyone are taking these two drugs together (maybe even with interferon) and trying to find out if there are side effects.  


I noticed in the post you are taking NTZ and interferon with Imiquimod, but you are going to replace NTZ with SIM.  Why not just add SIM to your combo?

Stef recommended alinia plus SIM plus interferon plus Vit a D.  

You can monitor vitamin D but serum calcium and vitamen d level.  IT is just a vitamin.

Interferon is naturally produced by our bodies so unlikely to interact.  

Alinia and SIM both metabolised by the liver.  Good thing alnia does not affect P450.  2/3 of alinia is excreted in bile.

However, we must try to see if these give sife effects.

hey Jeff.. That is a could subject you have brought up.

It will be nice to find a pharmacy that sells good quality meds.. I know in the US it is impossible to test the medication from a third party. Other countries you can..

I have heard of people buying Chinese Baraclude for dirt cheap, and other drugs.. But I am very concerned not be sold something that can poison me. That is the only thing why I did not try Alinia.. It is a very good effective drug against HepB.. I pleaded with my Hepatologist to give it me, he didn't prescribe it. :(
