One reason for this warning may be that older patients may be at higher risk of side effects, including allergic reactions, gastrointestinal disorders, liver problems and myopathy (muscle damage). Cholester, contains monacolin K, which works similarly to statins (antihyperlipidemic drugs), but in the case of the elderly, they may increase the risk of side effects such as myopathy or rhabdomyolysis. For older patients, additional risk factors such as comorbidities, drug interactions and impaired organ function may occur, which may increase the risk of side effects. Therefore, if you are an elderly person who wants to use Cholester, you should consult a doctor with whom you should thoroughly discuss the potential benefits and risks of using Cholester. If you are unable to get to your primary care doctor, the GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I enclose a link to a page where you can compare the prices of Cholester in online pharmacies and place an order with home delivery or collection at the nearest stationary pharmacy: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/17616/cholester-tabletki/apteki

User questions and answers that provide feedback about products are not verified for the purchase or use of the product. Companies often order anonymous comments to form positive opinions about their products, or negative ones about competitors. Therefore, be guided by the information in the pharmacists' responses in the first place.
