Statins Are Over Prescribed According To New Study

Researchers at the University of Zurich are offering new guidelines that would reduce the number of people prescribed statins by half. According to UPI, a new study shows that many patients take statin medications unnecessarily, which then increases their risk of developing cataracts, diabetes and liver damage. Milo Puhan, a professor at the University of Zurich, said in a news statement; "Ultimately, this measure helps to prevent heart attacks or strokes in only a few cases. But all people who take statins are at risk of experiencing the side effects".
