I am taking Atorvastatin. They are the first ones that haven't given me side effects. Doh!

I researched this before following the link (been caught out by toxic links!). Although I suffered bad muscle pain with simvastatin this no longer occurred with atorvastatin. However, I am not eligible! More information is below:-
You may be eligible if:
a) you are at least 18 years old
b) you have stopped taking statins because of side effects
During the one-year trial you will take 4 months each of a statin a placebo (dummy tablet), and no treatment You will record any symptoms daily using a special smartphone app.
After the trial you will learn your individual result showing what proportion of the symptoms were truly due to the statin
Not what you're looking for?
