Many doctors have been reluctant to the expanding use of statin in the people with normal cholesterol because many out of them would have to be treated to avert a particular additional case.

But now, on the basis of recent findings, many people having normal cholesterol are provided by the reason to consider taking these drugs, available as Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor and in generic form, some of the doctors explain.

One of the competent researchers said, he had been able to convince patients to use statin drug, when he saw the results of CRP test. So, the doctors who examine treatment guidelines should pay heed to the new results.
