Atorvastatin New Study - Save Your Money - Please Read
(Newest replies first)

Updated

A new NIH study just came out in finding that you can most likely stretch your dollar with the use of statins.

"Alternate-day dosing of individual statins (especially atorvastatin and rosuvastatin) is as efficacious as daily dosing on LDL-C and TG."

Question: Could either of these cause or attribute to fatty liver?

Thank you very much for posting this study and valuable information.

Some other recent studies have found that concern about cholesterol levels is not as important as once thought. High levels don't always mean that someone is more prone to heart disease, or other issues, according to AMA studies.

But, as with all other medical information, this could change at any given time, if more research turns up other findings.

Is there anything else I can help with?
