Which is the best statin for preventing further plaque growth?

Posted by Joby @lazarian, May 26 3:40pm

As mentioned previously I have been diagnosed with mild plaque deposits in my coronary arteries and am about to be prescribed 20mg of statin and was wondering which brand tablet most people felt best stopped progression and had the least side effects
Many thanks

I’ve added Repatha for about 8 months now with zero side effects (other than a dramatic decrease in cholesterol levels. Don’t be afraid to try if that’s what your doctor recommends

Did you have side-effects from other statins?
