snip >I can also tell you that if you have to take cholesterol
lowering medication as well, like I do, the dosage of these two different
medications will cause liver problems if not monitored carefully. For
instance: the most effective dosage of diclofenac for me is 75mg twice a
day, and the most effective dosage of cholesterol lowering medication is
20mg of Zocor. But the two in combination always raises my hepatitis B
liver count to unhealthy levels. So currently I am working with my Dr. to
try and find a combination of the two meds that works, yet doesn't raise
my liver count.

I've been taking 3 x 50mg of Diclofenac Sodium for years now. Once or
twice I've stopped taking it for various reasons. Within a couple of days
I can hardly walk.

I'm four weeks into taking a 10mg daily dose of statins tablets for high
cholesterol. No side effects yet, but I don't know what the symptoms are
for "unhealthy levels". Could you tell me, or won't I know util the moment
I collapse lol

No, you won't collapse or anything like that. LOL! Actually the only way to
determine it is by having regular bloodwork done. I go back and have mine
checked at least every six months.
