Are There Any Alternatives To Statins To Lower Cholesterol Levels?
Experiencing pain in one leg beneath the hip, about 8 inches from the hip bone. A neighbor told me he’d taken statins for his cholesterol for years and had the same thing happen. Only in one leg. He stopped taking the statins and problem went away. What other drugs can be taken for high cholesterol in statins place?

Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Some of the alternatives of statin are fibrates, resins, and ezetimibe without a prescription.
It's a natural vitamin, vitamin B3. It also has the best effect on HDL cholesterol as well as an excellent ability to lower triglycerides and a good ability to reduce LDL levels.
