In this episode, I talk about the most commonly used statins.  In my practice I see simvastatin, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and pravastatin used most frequent.

In addition, I also discuss why statins are dosed at night, possible side effects, and important drug interactions.

Statins can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack.  I mentioned cvriskcalculator.com on the podcast and wanted to give that link to you.

Hope you enjoy the episode!

In this introduction episode of Real Life Pharmacology, I discuss the two major reasons why I wanted to start this podcast.  I also share a little bit about my background which you can also find here.

Reason 1: I want to help young healthcare professionals by providing an alternative option to help them learn pharmacology.

Reason 2: I have had professors in college that don’t practice in the real world and really have a tough time relaying important and relevant clinical information.  I wanted a way to share some of my experiences as a clinical pharmacist, which I believe will help you provide better care for your patients.
