My doctor wants me to take a statin, should I?

It is important to consult with your doctor before taking any medication. If you have been diagnosed with high cholesterol or heart disease, then it may be beneficial for you to consider taking a statin drug. However, if you are healthy and do not have any signs of cardiovascular disease, then the benefits may not outweigh the risks. Speak to your doctor about whether or not this type of medication would be right for you.
