Thanks. I appreciate your very sensible posts. I am not getting at patients in any way, and I agree pharmaceuticals like a lot of other big companies may have dubious practices from the individuals perspective.
This forum has great potential if it allow us as doctors to provide some non specific information. I really like to be challenged. However the renal failure issue was raised many weeks ago by a poster claiming statins damaged kidneys.
The bottom line is if you are fit and well you gain more benefit taking statins an not but of course you need a good GP who will check for liver problems and muscle problems
