Statins is a class of drugs that lowers the level of cholesterol in the blood by reducing the production of cholesterol by the liver. (The other source of cholesterol in the blood is dietary cholesterol.) Statins block the enzyme in the liver that is responsible for making cholesterol. This enzyme is called hydroxy-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase). Scientifically, statins are referred to as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Cholesterol is critical to the normal function of every cell in the body.
Cholesterol-lowering statins are used to help prevent heart disease, which can lead to heart attacks, heart failure, and death. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., accounting for about 600,000 deaths every year, according to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
