Which statin is safest to take long term

There is no such thing as the safest statin drug to take in the long term, and different statin drugs have different adaptive groups. Statins are one of the most common drugs in the clinic, which can lower blood lipids and protect cardiovascular and cerebral vessels, stabilize vascular plaque, and the safety of this kind of drug is relatively good. However, there is no uniform conclusion on the safest statins for long-term use in the clinic, and the choice needs to be based on the patient’s individual situation and the characteristics of the drug. For example, simvastatin, the drug is generally cheaper, but the drug is forbidden to mix with erythromycin and other drugs, so patients taking erythromycin are not allowed to choose the drug, in addition, severe renal insufficiency is forbidden to take risuvastatin, but you can choose to metabolize by the liver atorvastatin. All in all, the choice of statin drugs is different from person to person, individualized medication, there is no such thing as the safest drug.
