The multinational Merck/Schering Plough launched Simvastatin (sim-va-stat-in) back in the January of 2008 to treat cholesterol related cardiac problems either singularly or in association with Ezetimibe and the brand name for the drug was Zocor. It is believed to lower the bad cholesterols and triglycerides. This is believed to lower the risk of stroke, sudden heart attack or death resulting from coronary heart diseases. It increases the level of high-density lipoprotein that is considered good cholesterol for all those who have problems of the heart, fatigue, dizziness, weakness, thrombocytopenia, headache, diarrhea, nausea elevation of CPK for skeletal related and neuromuscular problems, tummy pain (not more than 1%), pruritus, vertigo, dyspepsia, constipation and transaminases that goes up.

Findings from Tests Run by FDA – Simvastatin & Tinnitus

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) was forced into action by widespread public resentment in the US. The FDA communicated relevant information about the initial results of the effect of a combination high dose of Simvastatin and Ezetimibe vs. Simvastatin singularly on the Atherosclerotic Process in all those people who had Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia. A double-blind, randomized test was conducted on 720 people. It tool 2 years for the test to complete. Patients were exposed to Ezetimibe 10 mg/Simavastanin 80 mg and Simavastanin (Zocor) singularly. The key endpoint of the test involved the mean change in Carotid Intima-media Thickness (CIMT), which represents a surrogate endpoint, which is supposed to render a substantial reduction in the potential cardiovascular eventualities in the near future.

As an imaging experiment, it was not meant for clinical upshots, i.e. stroke, MI, etc. it was found out that Ezetimibe and Simvastatin used together reduced LDL cholesterol more efficiently than when Simvastatin was used on its own. However, both medications hardly changed the CIMT. The after effects were similar in both cases, too.

From all over the US, the after effects of Simvastatin were being reported. Symptoms included persistent buzzing in the ears (a sure sign of tinnitus), dizziness, fatigue, as well as other problems. Blood count, ECG and MIR tests were run, but all returned normal results. Braving the opposition of the prescribing medics, a patient stopped using Simavastanin and within 3 months he displayed no disturbing side effects of the drug.

Dont be complacent if tinnitus does not show up immediately after Simavastanin is administered. Study following case history. A 52 year old male suffered delayed effects of Simvastatin. He was initially diagnosed with T2 Diabetes and was advised by the attending physician to take Simavastanin 20 mg per day. For the first six months, nothing happened. Then, the patient suddenly developed tinnitus along with vertigo and other related distressing symptoms. Immediate memory loss made his family life distressful, as he could not recall conversations with his wife. Loss of concentration resulted in his inability to drive. After running a series of tests like Blood test, ECG and even MRI, the root cause was still unknown as all tests yielded normal results. On a hunch, Simavastanin was substituted by some other drug. Voila! Immediately the tinnitus disappeared.

A 62 year old lady went to an ENT Specialist when she had ringing tone in both her ears. She had earlier been diagnosed with high level of cholesterol and occasional angina pain in the chest. Conventional medication prescribed Simvastatin 20 mg/day, which she started using, immediately causing the side effects. She was diagnosed with tinnitus in both the ears.

It is now proven by the above illustrations that using Simavastanin causes tinnitus, though the time taken for this side effect to surface can vary. Other more serious side effects are common, too.

Finding the Right Treatment – Simvastatin & Tinnitus

Conventional medication such as Simvastatin does not identify or cure the main causes of tinnitus. They identify merely the external symptoms and try to provide relief for those. They provide temporary relief, but never eradicate the disease fully, causing the symptoms to re-appear. The side effects of such medication are health hazards. The solution lies in taking resort to holistic remedies that seek out and eradicate the root causes that result in the symptoms. Once the root causes are found and nullified, the symptoms disappear, too.
