Statins (OT)
There was a lot of interest last time this was aired but I was left with
a few unanswered questions... How significant is the fat in processed Pork slices as I find it a very convenient source of sandwich filling? How linear is the response to dose levels? A recent test found 4.2 total (2.4 LDL) for a dose of 20mg. Pre-statins, I had levels of 6.8 and 7.2 total. I would like to drop the dose to 10mg. I asked how long it takes for the body to return to normal after stopping medication and was told 2 weeks. I was also told to resume treatment to double check any noted changes. -- Tim Lamb |
