John was never on either of those but many here have found it helpful to really drink a lot of water to help the kidneys when on cyclo. Hydration is very important when on cyclo.

Also, since your measurements for cholesterol are different from our in the USA, I cannot tell just how high they are. But I wanted to suggest you not add in the statins until you adjust to the cellcept. Statin bring their own set of risk and in rare cases, bone marrow failure or suppression. So speak to your doctor about the overall drug strategy.

Who knows, maybe with the switch to cellcept, both BP and Cholesterol will come down on their own.
