aoa....we as follow recommendations which are made after vigoruos work and trials....so till now giidelines recommend use of lipid lowering medicines when indicated...so keep following your doctor prescription.

Statins should never be stopped once started.
The dose of 10mg is low.
you should increase to 20mg at night.
statins are magical drugs and they not only lower lipids but also work in alot of other ways to help your body in prevention from stroke MI Thromboembolism & alot of other similar conditions. The side effects are
1. Gastric burning
2. Muscle inflammation
3. liver injury
but they are very very rare & my fellow colleagues must agree with that who see over 50 patients everyday.

You have a very strong family history of cardiovascular disease.The side effects of statin though a reality are very rare occurrences and that too at very high doses.The side effects mainly involve muscle inflammation and liver toxicity.Kindly continue meds and followup with your Doc.

Dear Qaem Deen,
Please don't comment if you don't have proper knowledge. You mentioned that VLDL should be less than 100, for your information VLDL should be less that 40

are in normal limits there is no need of taking such medicines
