Cholesterol high and offered statins..

Loads of folk seem to be on statins where I live anyway. I have familial high cholesterol which has come down since taking statins. I have no obvious side effects. My friend does but as she takes a huge amount of prescribed pills every day I’m not sure how she can tell.

Thanks both, it’s good to know as I don’t actually know anyone who takes them so can’t ask.

I have also taken them for years with no problems.

Enidd. Just search statins under Health. There was a very lengthy discussion about statins just last week.

Been taking them for 5+ yrs no problems my cholesterol is now 3.7 not sure if that’s down to my diet now or if the statins.
