Statins come in tablet or capsule form. They are taken once or twice a day, depending on the particular product. Short-acting statins must be taken in the evening (near bedtime), while long-acting statins can be taken at any time of the day. Either way, make sure to take your dose at the same time each day. Some statins can be taken with or without food; others must be taken with food.
