I’m on 80 mg of statin I experienced no side effects. Statin is a miracle drug keeps the plaque at bay. Unfortunately, I have to take it everyday. However, I did have a caregiver that took my statin away for 17 days. I ended up getting two clots which in cardiovascular they call it plaque. I ended up getting a 78% clot two on the left ventricle main chamber. Within 17 days without this medication I have 2 clots on heart, After, vascular surgery, you must take statin for the rest of your life. It’s one of the best drugs on the market that actually save your life.
