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.
Special care is needed if there is any pre-existing history of liver disease or high alcohol intake. Statins can also interact with other drugs used for lowering blood fats levels, particularly a group of drugs called fibrates. So I don't think there is cause for alarm here. As long as your doctor keeps an eye on the liver function tests no long-term damage will be done.
