Does everyone at risk for heart disease should take a statin? It is still an ongoing debate! There has been convincing evidence that people who have ongoing inflammation in their body as measured by (CRP) C- reactive protein will benefit irrespective of the level of cholesterol. The commonly used statins including rosuvastatin, atorvastatin, simvastatin, lovastatin and pravastatin all should be beneficial though there is difference in their potency. Generic ones also share the same effect.

Atorvastatin belongs to the group of statin drugs. Statins help in the reduction of blood cholesterol and hence decreases the plaque formation, which is the basis for heart disease. The main side effects are muscle damage and liver injury. Not all people can take statin, so ask your doctor if it is right for you.
