Statin intolerance or not.
I was taking Lipitor 5 mg daily for almost 4.5 years. Prior to this, I tried two other statins for a short time.
Based upon my personal experience, statins are good only for Big Pharma.
I have two cardiologists. They are both full professors at Harvard School of Medicine. Each has more that 350 publications. I think that neither of them are great but they are best I could find. One year ago, my CK blood test went over 1,200. I was hospitalized at BWH and was released with a Lipitor intolerance diagnosis. I was not taken any statin for more than a years, although, both my cardiologists insist that I must take Crestor 2.5 mg twice a week. I don't think so.
They told me that new cholesterol drugs would be very expensive. My reply was: It is not your business!
