Blood pressure dropped to 118/78 after taking statin, should I continue to take it?

The blood pressure dropped to 118/78mmhg after taking the statin, and it needs to be continued. Usually more common statin drugs are atorvastatin, simvastatin and so on, all belong to the blood lipid-lowering drugs. After use, they can reduce the levels of cholesterol and LDL in the body, and are mainly used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Statins do not significantly affect blood pressure after taking them, so they will not cause a significant drop in blood pressure. Therefore, if the blood pressure drops to 118/78mmhg after taking statins, it is not an adverse reaction to the drug and you can continue to take statins for treatment. At the same time, normal adults in a quiet state measured blood pressure value of 120/80mmh, and blood pressure 118/78mmhg belongs to the range of normal blood pressure, and does not meet the diagnostic criteria of hypertension or hypotension, so do not have to worry about, and do not have to carry out special treatment. If dizziness, nausea, diarrhea and other discomforts occur after taking statin drugs, the drug should be stopped immediately and timely consultation.
