Our liver loves to make cholesterol at night. They say that the intestines help her in this matter.
If we already have a lot of cholesterol in our blood, then we need to interfere with the liver. Otherwise, atherosclerosis will sprout, and the matter will end in a stroke or heart attack. This is what statins do.
Statins are different. They are absorbed differently and swim in the blood for different times. So, for example, simvastatin is short-acting and works better in the evenings.
But atorvastatin and rosuvastatin act for a long time, and it does not matter at what time to take them.
There used to be lovastatin, but for some reason it was excluded from the State Register of Medicines. One there is some kind of lovastatin indicated, but it is not seen on sale. Lovastatin had to be taken with food. So he absorbed better.
In fact, all these tricks are not confirmed in large scientific studies. It is not very clear how exactly all this affects the risk of having a heart attack or stroke, so experts in areas of treatment for high cholesterol recommend following the manufacturer's recommendations statins. Because manufacturers know better than anyone when to take their drugs, and how this ends.
Did your cardiologist tell you anything about this?
