[QUOTE="Bubbs, post: 212578, member: 18618"] I'm curious about the minimum effective dose for statins, from my reading it looks like just 10mg of Crestor a week would get me down a lot but my Dr wants me on 10mg a day as a "starting point" The low dose studies show that LDL was reduced @30% on VLD crestor vs @50% on much higher doses that came with side effects I wonder if it's worth a low dose experiment at maybe 2.5mg a day to see if it actually does anything, or 5mg EOD or E3D as EOD dosing with 50% of the prescribed dose was shown to be almost as effective in studies as the full ED dose [URL unfurl="true"]https://meridian.allenpress.com/jcphp/article/66/1/41/430604/Efficacy-and-Tolerability-of-non-daily-Statin[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18549851/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19166695/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
