It seems like everyone is taking a statin, and there is even a serious look into children taking them. Some people are even saying that statins should be used prophylactically to keep you from getting heart disease!
I am not going to get into the whether there is an over prescribing, but I am going to let you know about some issues that you will want to think about when you are told that you should take statins.
When you take a statin you should really ask you physician about this article. This can be a real problem for a lot of statin users, but there are some things that you can do if you must take the statins. The article points out something that should be standard when taking a statin, and that is using Co-Q10. This can really help with some of the side-effects that arise.
