A statin medication should only be taken if it will prolong life and improve quality of life and no other health improvements are possible.

“if you are thinking about whether or not to take a Statin you must consider this question will I live longer and will I live better on that medication and if the answer is no I do not think there's a reason to take that medication and I'm not sure how any physician or clinical provider or researcher would argue with that why would you take a drug which will not prolong your life and not allow you to live better especially when there are other ways of improving your overall health”
