Statin drugs are generally safe and they do what they are advertised to do.
With that being said, My father was taking a statin drug and now has permanent leg and hip damage from it and will probably have to start using a wheelchair to get around. He no longer takes it, by the way. My brother was taking a statin drug and he developed some side effects. The nature of which he did not divulge to me. All I know is his Dr. took him off of he drug and said “never again”.
So with a family history being shown, I no longer take a statin either. Instead I do more physical labor than I used to. Eat better and healthier and I am doing fine so far.
So Statin drugs can help but like all drugs need to be monitored quite carefully.
