That is why I argued with the doctor and he agreed to reduce my statins from 20mg every day to 5 mg pills only on 3 days. Have not noticed any adverse side effects.
I am a believer in MINIMUM prescription pills.
I eat lots of frozen foods and restaurant food and order pizza delivery often, my blood pressure like to stay at 140/90 without Lisinopril. I use 10 mg Lisinopril minimum dose pills daily, and that keeps my BP at 130/80.
Again, real key to remain healthy is my daily moderate exercise. Today, I pressure washed my 2 car garage driveway. It took me 4 hours because it was full of black mold. Not too bad for a 84 year old dude.
