Cholesterol lowering medicine
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 ?

Not like that . If you can maintain normal level after medicine and lifestyle modification, statins may be stopped
