The right statin for you will partly depend on your LDL level. If your cholesterol is only slightly elevated above what your doctor thinks is a good target for you, a less potent statin might be what you need.
Hi Maria
There is still a huge amount of debate about whether statins are necessary at all. After all your body makes its own cholesterol and is probably well able to manage it.
Your doctor can advise on what he thinks the correct statin should be but it is up to us to decide if we want one at all. Personally I refused them and will continue to do so.
