rosuvastatin 40mg
Crestor. A high-intensity, hydrophilic statin. Went generic sometime around ‘17. Always saw fewer side effects and fantastic results in patients on it, so when it was time to become a patient myself, I chose it.
Out of the secondary options, I’d choose PCSK9 inhibitor next and would probably pay cash for it if I had any indication to warrant further treatment (I’m drawing my own line somewhere around an LDL of 130 while already on max dose crestor but am debating whether I’ll be reassured by a negative calcium score if that doesn’t happen).

Ah, I see.

Good to know. What are your thoughts on colestipol? I take that for reasons unrelated to my heart or cholesterol levels, but it seems like it's a pretty benign way to reduce cholesterol levels.
