I’ve got to be honest, I don’t know a great deal about Statin so I can only say so much but I’ve heard contradictory things about it. Anything that has a chance of substantially reducing heart-attacks/strokes in people vulnerable/predisposed to it has got to be worth looking into on the part of prescribers but at what cost do these apparent benefits come?

Edit: it does look like I’m asking a lot of questions (if I read another one of these posts of mine on here with a question mark I’m going to have head-loss) but I dunno. I guess it’s just interesting to read about people’s experiences with something important but that a lot of people aren’t too religious with.
