It is touted as a cancer preventative but does it have efficacy for us who already have cancer? Also see that it is available in Japan but maybe not here?

Good info. I like to see this: Combined Pitavastatin and Capmatinib Enhances Tumor Growth Inhibition in in vivo Therapeutic Model

Can it be prescribed in America?

How is the Pitivastatin livalo working for you Scout? 2mg or 4mg? Did it lower psa or cause any side effects? Are you also using an AR inhibitor?

not sure I can answer that question specifically, I am taking too many drugs to know which is causing a side effect.

All of my side effects are minimal.
