Among the drugs with the risks are Lipitor, Crestor,
Vytorin and Zocor. Statin use has now officially been linked to cognitive
problems by the Food and Drug Administration, citing forgetfulness and
confusion as some of the risks.
According to an article from The New York Times, 21
million patients were prescribed statins just last year alone in the United
States.
Federal officials have said that people should not be scared
by the newly published information on statins; they still have great value when
it comes to preventing heart disease.
The FDA has received reports on how patients have noticed
feeling “fuzzy” or unfocused after taking statin drugs. The new reports on the
rare risks associated with cholesterol drugs have been noted in all age groups
and with all statin drugs.
