Red Yeast
for the respondent who is taking red yeast rice--you ARE TAKING A STATIN. RYR is mevacolin K, the SAME ingredient in Mevacor. Although the amount of statin in Red Yeast rice is much less, It IS A STATIN...
the FDA compiled listing of all reported adverse effects from statins is availaable under the freedom of information act--you need to write to the FDA petitioning for the information. good lluck.
