You can probably research more articles on statins here. There is a lot of research and a lot of doctors that say statins are not healthy and not worth it.
I did 2 statins and had bad side effects. MD tried a third which lasted 6 weeks before side effects. When he wanted to try a 4th I walked. Told my new MD I do not do stains and will walk if you insist. Been on red rice yeast and niacin for over 10 years. Cholesterol is good, it hovers around 200 BECAUSE my HDL is in the low 70s
