According to a study, the benefits of using statins, a kind of popular cholesterol-lowering drugs, largely outweigh the risks. The study also revealed that they were not linked to an increase in cancer risk.

16 July 2013, USA (http://www.zeepharmacy.co) : According to a study, the benefits of using statins, a kind of popular cholesterol-lowering drugs, largely outweigh the risks. The study also revealed that they were not linked to an increase in cancer risk. They are a class of drugs used to lower cholesterol. They are used widely for the prevention of stroke or recurrent heart disease in patients. They work by preventing the formation of cholesterol in the liver. They are very efficient at lowering LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol), as well as lowering blood fats (triglycerides) and raising HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol).

Some of the risks of using them have been widely reported. For example, a study revealed that statins may be linked to eye cataracts. Other research also found that they can cause fatigue and decreased energy when exercising. Side effects don't routinely occur and knowing that the benefits outweigh the risks, the vast majority of people can take them safely.

It was found that statins were associated with a typically reversible increase in liver enzymes. However, this resulted in very low rate liver toxicity in patients. Although the benefits of statins clearly outweigh the risks at population level, individualizing such risks and benefits is more difficult.

This brings into sharp focus the importance of identifying the individuals who stand to benefit the most from statin therapy. The risk of developing diabetes is although low, what this risk would amount to over time is simply not known based on existing evidence.
