Statins

Managing hypertension or high cholesterol can be difficult, but Statins can make things easier. Cholesterol build-up in the blood vessels is one of many risk factors that can lead to heart attacks or strokes. Statins can help clear these cholesterol deposits out of the bloodstream and reduce the amount your liver produces. Statins also have anti-inflammatory properties that help prevent blockages in the arteries. Your healthcare provider can review your cholesterol levels and other risk factors and help you make an informed decision on whether you should take statins.
