buzz wrote: congrats on the letters. i was surprised how fast the numbers came down. will they up as fast if i stop taking the statin? is it possible to reduce the dosage and maintain good numbers?
4-6 weeks for full effect, which is maintained as long as statin is taken... then 4-6 weeks to return to baseline once statin is stopped... the dose you need is based on the cholesterol lowering potential of the particular statin you are using compared to the % cholesterol lowering that you need from your baseline... so the answer to your second question is "it depends."
