CoQ10 to protect heart: anyone with experience?
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is known to offer some protection against heart damage from some chemo drugs such as Adriamycin. (It has also been used to correct decreased endogenous CoQ10 in patients taking statin drugs).
Has anyone used CoQ10 to reduce risk of cardiovascular problems when taking Herceptin? With what results? Any sign of interaction with Herceptin?
Any knowledge about the kind of heart problems faced by Adriamycin & Herceptin taking patients? If similar it would support the use of CoQ10 in both cases.
If CoQ10 is effective & safe to use with Herceptin for minimizing heart disease risk, it may also help in figthing cancer based on recent basic research (not yet confirmed in humans)
