Medication renewals- how often are you required to be seen

Just as an FYI for other readers, the standard of care on monitoring liver function tests while on statins changed about 10 years ago. The recommendation used to be every 12 months while on statins, but this was found to be unnecessary. Now most doctors test liver function once before starting the statin and just once afterwards and then not again unless there is some other reason to do so. YMMV if you have chronic liver problems for some other reason.
