Cholestrol report
I have attached the report, my dad is 51 and has high cholestrol. He does not have diabetes or any other disease. He has been given statin tab rosuvas 10 mg. But it is said statins cannot be stopped but have very much side effects. Are statins really required? Can we be on good diet and excercise and this medication for few months and stop it?
