Statins block the production of cholesterol in the liver itself. They lower LDL, the bad cholesterol, and triglycerides, and have a mild effect in raising HDL, the good cholesterol. These drugs are the first line of treatment for most people with high cholesterol. Statins have been shown in multiple research studies to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and death from heart disease. Side effects can include intestinal problems, liver damage, and muscle inflammation.
