Or you could refer to the article on statins that Mrs D put up here quite some time ago.

If you don't have super high cholesterol, Mark, why are you on a statin? It can be brought down with diet and "exercise." I put that in quotes, because MGers often can't exercise that much.

Mike is right, statins are one of the drugs that MGers really shouldn't take unless they have a genetically high cholesterol.
