A member asked:
Atorvastatine is good o bad ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: Medications are both good and bad. There is always a benefit and risk to be weighed. For most people with known heart disease the benefits of statins generally outweigh the risks. For those without heart disease but known high LDL cholesterol the benefit is less clear and needs to be weighed carefully.
