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.


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.

Fairly weak at lowering LDL levels with no significant mortality data one way or the other that I’m aware of. I would not take it for my LDL with what else is available. Ezetimibe or or bempedoic acid would be the others I’d consider adding, generally.
