Ask the Doctor: I know that most of the cholesterol-lowering statin drugs are supposed to be safe. But I am still shaken up by the news that one of these drugs, Baycol, caused several deaths due to muscle damage. If the rest of these drugs can also cause the same problem, how can any of them be considered safe?
