Is there any advantages with taking statins compared to an alternate ie fabrizate as not everyone is convinced by statins due some side effects?

Pleotropic benefits: Statins have been around since the 1980s and there is lots of evidence that independent of their lipid lowering benefit, they are anti-oxidants, stabilize endothelium and are anti-inflammatory. They significantly reduce ones risk of an adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event for these reasons in addition to reducing cholesterol numbers.
