Taking cholestrol tablets for longtime

[EricaR]

Recently, I was diagnosed for high cholesterol and prescribed to take cholesterol tablets if I'm not controlling my diets. Are there any side effects of cholesterol tablets when taking for long time? if someone has been using these tablets, please advice me.

Are you on a statin?

Why don't you just control your diet? It's much easier and less riskier.

Yes..I'm doing that..But, doctor prescribed me to take them for 3 months along with Omega 3..That's why I'm asking this..

That medicinal drug that has no side effects has not yet been discovered.

Statins have a lot of side effects
High cholesterol has also not been associated with increased mortality ie si ugonjwa
If you're obese the best and most risk free way out is to reduce carbohydrate consumption until BMI is normal
