Hello,

Is you GP suggesting for you to go on statin?

I am afraid there is no one answer. Our body is different in many ways and each medicine react in different ways therefore you need to try one and experiment statin.

If you are lucky the first one you try may not have an side effect from your body!. Good luck with statin. You have not mentioned your cholesterol levels.

I agree with bigleg. Magnesium does not have any side effects and comes in various forms. I've used Magnesium in capsule form and am about to try a magnesium drink.
