"Even if you don't take a statin, you have likely heard or read about the side effects. You may have heard that they cause liver failure, lead to memory problems, and a life-threatening breakdown of muscles called rhabdomyolysis...be sure and ask about the risks compared to the benefits and also if there are alternatives that would make sense for you."
