I take simivistatin for high cholesterol (20 mg per day). I have not had a problem with it which is great considering all of the reactions and side effects I have had with other drugs. Controlling cholesterol naturally does not always work. There is also a hereditary factor. All of my older siblings also have high cholesterol. My mother who is 80 and weighs about 120 lbs has always eaten a very healthy diet. And she has had high cholesterol for years.

Luckily, simivistatin has helped me to lower my cholesterol. Any benefits regarding a reduction in the the number of lesions is unknown. But it would be great if it is helping. I would actually consider raising my dosage if there is a true benefit.
