Because of side effect, my doc asked me to do 10 mg simvstatin every other day. how effective is this especially with the 1/2 life for this medicine.

Valid option: Every other day dosing is an option for people who can not tolerate daily statin doses due to side effects. Make sure you are doing everything else you can to lower your cholesterol. Exercise is very important and eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables can help. Avoiding high fat foods and lowering carbohydrates in your diet can also lower cholesterol.
