This book focuses on statins which are a relatively new group of drugs used to lower blood cholesterol levels. A high cholesterol level
increases a person’s risk of having a heart attack or stroke. The
long-term use of statins reduces the risk of such an event and can
increase the life expectancy of
people with a history of heart disease. The statins work by blocking an
enzyme in the body that is involved in the production of LDL
cholesterol, especially in the liver. This enzyme is known as HMG
coenzyme A reductase. The statins are the most effective group of drugs
for lowering the levels of LDL cholesterol in the body. Potential side-effects include muscle cramps and gastrointestinal upsets. These are usually resolved on temporarily lowering the dose. Liver enzyme
derangements may occur, which generally return to normal after briefly
discontinuing the drug. Some report headaches. Other side-effects occur
rarely
