    I had terrible side effects taking statin drugs. The red yeast rice 1200 mg per two tablets by Weider bought at Costco has worked miracles in lowering my cholesterol. I highly recommend and tried everything before trying this. If you have problems and side effects I would try red yeast rice tablets.
