Mevacor/allergies
Question: I have been taking Mevacor (20 mg) for seven years. Recently we installed vinyl
wallpaper in our house and I have shown a tremendous sensitivity to it,
manifested by eye irritations. I have no other known allergies, having been
tested. Could mevacor cause this problem or at least exacerbate it? I also
take verelan (120 mg) and one aspirin.
Answer: Sorry, but I have never heard of this or seen a case. You might want to try asking the company Merck at: 800-672-6372.
