Doctors urged to lower statin dose after new health scare

Doctors are being urged to choose the lowest-possible dose when they prescribe cholesterol-lowering statins after a study discovered the drugs cause a range of health problems, including serious liver and kidney failure.

Statins have been considered to be a safe drug group, and are routinely prescribed to the over 50s to prevent heart disease, but a new study from Nottingham University that they are an unsuspecting cause of serious liver and kidney dysfunction and failure, and they can also be a cause of myopathy, the muscle disease and cataracts. The risks were similar across the whole range of statins, although the risks of liver disease was highest among patients taking fluvastatin.
