Scientists last night hailed a new drug which can cut bad cholesterol levels by half without the bad side effects of Statins
The drug is called Repatha
It is now revealed that 7 million take Statins and 1.4 million have had to terminate due to side effects of Statins, basically 1 in 5 and that is not considering the damage done long term by Statins of those who keep taking them
At least there now seems to be acceptance of the bad side effects of Statins rather than the head in the sand defence of the drugs.
We can only hope this new drug meets the expectations it promises and is not another devil in the disguise of an angel drug
