Reversal of statin-induced memory dysfunction by co-enzyme Q10: a case report

Figures & data

Table 1 Lipid profiles with time on various treatments

Date	TC	HDL-C	LDL-C	TG	Remarks
December 2011	5.2	1.0	3.0	0.9	Given fenofibrate 160 mg daily
January 2012	5.7	1.0	3.2	1.1	Remained on above
June 2012	6.0	1.4	3.1	1.3	Given niacin 100 mg daily
February 2013	6.1	0.9	–	1.3	Remained on above
November	6.1	1.2	4.2	0.9	Given rosuvastatin
2013					and CoE Q10
February 2014	3.7	1.0	1.7	1.4	Remained on above
May 2014	3.8	1.0	2.0	0.7	On above, no muscle/memory issue

Notes: All values are in units of mmol/L. Fenofibrate gave mild muscle discomfort that was later followed by vertigo and ataxia. Niacin gave no side effects but did not improve lipid profile. Rosuvastatin and CoE Q10 normalized lipid profile and did not cause any side effects.

Abbreviations: TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; CoE Q10, co-enzyme Q10.
