@15eastover A Cardiologist prescribed a statin drug for my cholesterol. One day I went to my primary Dr to have some blood work done and ask that they do a complete blood work, because I was not feeling well. So glad I did, when the results came back, my liver enzymes were so very high she hospitalized me. I spent 6 days in the hospital. I take a mediation now for my Cholesterol, but it does not have statin in it. Just be sure you have your liver enzymes checked fairly often.

@bevthenurse - By liver enzymes I assume you mean AST & ALT? If you dont mind how high was their numbers from the statin?
