Statin drugs, also known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, are medications commonly prescribed to manage high cholesterol levels. Synonyms for statin drugs include cholesterol-lowering drugs, lipid-lowering agents, and hypocholesterolemics. Other medications that may be used in conjunction with statin drugs include fibrates, bile acid sequestrants, and niacin. While statin drugs are known to be highly effective at reducing cholesterol levels, they also have potential side effects such as muscle pain, liver damage, and increased risk of developing diabetes. Therefore, it is important for patients to discuss the risks and benefits of statin drug therapy with their healthcare provider before starting any medication regimen.
