Hmm. Not sure what to think about this. Side effects are respiratory infections, influenza, nausea and so on.

I am very suspicious as long term effects are not studied, yet these can be prescribed to kids at age 12 years.

Personally I wouldn't take any cholesterol lowering drug of any description! If you cholesterol suddenly raises there is something wrong and it should be investigated.

I agree. That is one reason why I am so suspicious about these injections, they don't only cause very harmful side effects but is it good anyways. Just lowering cholesterol and settle with it without finding a reason for high cholesterol might cost a life or at least one's health.

Not what you're looking for?
