Statins are a class of drugs that can effectively lower cholesterol levels by blocking enzymes that are essential to cholesterol production. The typical patient using statin drugs has extremely high cholesterol levels and has extreme difficulty lowering his or her cholesterol by non-medication means such as exercise and diet.

Statin cholesterol medications can have the following side effects:

• Fever
• Muscle Cramps
• Stomach Pain
• Fatigue
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness
• Gas
• Skin rash
• Nausea

The side effects are rarely serious, and most people accept the mild discomfort associated with them.

Patients have used many Statin drugs such as Lipitor (Pfizer Pharmaceuticals) and Zocor (Merck Pharmaceuticals) with few side effects. Baycol offers no significant advantage over Lipitor or Zocor for reducing cholesterol levels or decreasing side effects.
