Dear Sir/Madam, I have high LDL cholesterol (166) for which doc prescribed Rosuvas F 10 tab. But many are saying if I start statins ...I have to take for the rest of my life ( instead they are suggesting diet/exercise). Is it true if I start taking starin, I have to continue for the rest of my life ?
