Have a pharmacist check any meds he might be taking. My doctor put me on simvestaten for cholesterol. I gained a lot of weight. Since taking myself off the staten I have been steadily losing weight, 40 pounds and counting.
I say talk to a pharmacist because they know more than most doctors about the drugs that are prescribed and the interactions between drugs.
Wishing the best for your cousin.
That’s really fascinating. My friend who takes Statins is overweight, but he eats junk food too.
