Been on 10 mg for 15 years. Cholesterol has never been over 150. Told my Dr I quit taking them right after he gave me a script for 40 mg / day.
He had no response as to why they keep lowering the threshold. My dad had his first heart attack at 46 and his cholesterol was 240+. Diet and exercise got him on a much healthier track.
Any source on when and by how much they changed the numbers?
