There is one statin, Crestor, which is very dangerous for Asians, as shown in studies. Sadly not all providers are aware and it’s still being prescribed to Asians. It does something bad to the blood chemistry, but is ok for the patients after it is discontinued. Most of the MDs in HI are just using other statins on their mostly Asian patients.

I was fortunately told by my internist today that I don’t need a statin at this time, even though I need to try to eat healthier and exercise more, which I will be doing. She calculated my risk of heart problems and it’s very low, in spite of my non-optimal blood tests.
