If you are prone to artery problems, statins are a Godsend.
If you are not, you are taking a chance.
I take a low-dosage and the carotid scans look good. .
I’ve been trying to get off of them. The genetic Zocar made me a little loopy.( My wife said she couldn’t tell the difference )
I am now taking a low dose of atorvastatin - 5mg every other day.
Next up is trying to schedule an LDL Particle Test.
There is no question of statin value post stroke\heart attack.
