Statins are taken in the morning or evening? How do I start taking it for the rest of my life? I had total cholesterol of 300 I took lipofarm and artichoke after a month fell to 250 or is it a lot?

Some statins (in Poland they will be, for example, simvastatin and lovastatin) should be taken before bedtime, due to the fact that they have a so-called short half-life, and the synthesis of cholesterol is greater at night. Taking these drugs in the evening therefore provides better effectiveness. Substances with a longer half-life (e.g. atorvastatin, rosuvastatin) maintain the therapeutic concentration in the blood around the clock, so they can be used at any time of the day. However, it is customary for the doctor to indicate that the drug should be used in the evening and such intake will not be a mistake. As for the length of treatment with statins, then the answer to the following question is below: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/48258/storvas-czy-uzycie-przez-jeden-miesiac-powoduje-ze-musze-brac-juz-zawsze On the interpretation of the lipidogram, you should ask the doctor with the original result of the examination.
