Since last 40 years Statins were considered as cardioprotective by their favourable effects on lipid profile. Now, in recent dietary guidelines U-turn is taken on role of cholesterol and is no more considered as bad food.dietary cholesterol has nothing to do with thrombus formation, as only 20 percent of dietary cholesterol reaches blood. Statins apart from adverse effects also lead to diabetes.
I am really confused over Statins status. Please, someone help whether Statins to be used or stop in patients who are already taking. Thanks in advance.
