Statins is a class of drugs that lowers the level of cholesterol in the blood by reducing the production of cholesterol by the liver. (The other source of cholesterol in the blood is dietary cholesterol.) Statins block the enzyme in the liver that is responsible for making cholesterol. This enzyme is called hydroxy-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase). Scientifically, statins are referred to as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Cholesterol is critical to the normal function of every cell in the body.
Statins are medications that are effective in helping to reduce 'bad' cholesterol levels and to help reduce the risk of heart problems, but they can cause side effects for some people. Most people who take statins tolerate them very well. But some people experience statin side effects. Statins are the UK's most commonly prescribed medication â and because they are common, they are often in the news â for good and bad reasons. However, reviews continue to confirm these medications are safe to take.
