Treatment for FH in Sweden

There has been an interesting conversation on the Facebook FH group site about drug treatment in Sweden for FH. (I am not a member, I only follow it).

The lady from Sweden was saying that doctors tend to prescribe combinations of drugs rather than one high dose of a statin. Also they don't like to prescribe statins for children under 18.

This is the link to the group. It is an open group. I'm not a great Facebook user (altough I'm signed up) so not sure whether you have to be signed up as well. It's a very international group so it's quite interesting to pick up the differences between countries.

Not what you're looking for?
