Statin Intolerance

Has anyone developed an intolerance to statins. I am on Simponi and my primary care increased my statin (Lipitor) to 40mg. Did not work for me. Experienced pelvic pain so switched to Crestar 10mg and experienced the same. So I'm wondering if there is an alternative to statins.

  1. Hi . I can't personally speak to this, but I want to share with you this article on alternatives to statins: https://www.healthline.com/health/high-cholesterol/alternatives-statins. Hopefully others will chime in with their experiences and thoughts. Best, Richard (Team Member)
