Your statin

Your guide to statin medication

This website is for people who have been prescribed a statin to lower their cholesterol.

High cholesterol can lead to a number of health problems, such as atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries), angina, heart attack, stroke or mini-stroke.

Once prescribed, it is important to keep taking your statin every day, to help to prevent these health problems from developing or recurring.
