Dr. Jawad talks about the mechanism and side effects of statin medications.
Statin drugs are some of the most commonly prescribed medications. They are used to lower your bad cholesterol levels and supposedly reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and stroke. Statin drugs may be common, but they don’t come without side effects. There are some fantastic natural support strategies that you can use to protect your health and reduce your risk of statin drug side effects or needing the medication in the first place.
How Do Statin Drugs Work?
Statin drugs block the activity of the specific liver enzyme, HMG CoA Reductase, that is in charge of cholesterol production. The general theory is that if you have too much cholesterol in your blood, it can result in plaque buildup on the artery walls, which can lead to the narrowing or hardening of your arteries.
This increases the risk of blood clots, heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke. By reducing cholesterol production, the idea is that statins lower the chance of plaque buildup, and consequently, blood clots, heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke.
Risk Factors for Statin Side Effects
There are certain risk factors that can increase your risk of side effects from statin drugs, including:
Taking more than one medication for bad cholesterol
Being female
Being 65 or older
Having a small body frame
Drinking too much alcohol
Having liver or kidney disease
Vitamin D deficiency
