Statin is a type of medication prescribed to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. These drugs work by stopping an enzyme in the liver involved in creating cholesterol, and so reducing the amount of cholesterol circulating in the bloodstream. Statins are commonly used to manage high cholesterol levels, which can help lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. They are typically taken orally and are considered effective and safe for many patients when used under medical supervision.
