Too many of the current cholesterol drugs have serious side effects when used over the long term. Liver and kidney failure are the highest problems. C Control your diet and you won't have to resort to drugs. I took four different Drugs Zetia, Niacin, Antara, and Omacor. $400.00 a month to barely reduce my levels. Developed kidney problems and was taken off all drugs. Followed a strict diet and lost weight. Levels are now very good and I am now permitted some "treats". Avoid drugs like the plague. I know that there are so many chemical reactions going on in the body that EVERY drug will very likely do more to your body than simply that action it is designed to do. And it is HIGHLY likely that some of the non-designed actions are potentially harmful and can lead to organ failure, cancer, etc.
We normally take medicines ONLY because we have a medical problem and the alternative -letting the disease run its course- is more dangerous. This questionable benefit of taking these meds to alter the chemical balance of an otherwise healthy body seems extremely foolish to me when there's no proof they extend life at all.
