Statins are group of drugs given to lower cholesterol as high cholesterol increases the risk of heart diseases and stroke to greater extent. For some people the time taken for statins to get tolerated varies and needs to be checked for alternatives to statins if needed.
Next Steps
Consult a general physician for alterations in dosage or drugs if needed.
