When To Take A Statin?

A cholesterol pill helped prevent heart problems in people with no major risks, a study found. Almost 18,000 people with normal cholesterol got either a cholesterol-lowering pill called Crestor, or a dummy pill. Those on Crestor had about half the number of heart problems. But even people taking the fake pill had a low risk of heart problems. The study was reported November 9 at an American Heart Association conference.
