I have had several of my Doctors not only recommend it but said that they took it daily. I am 54 wiegh about 200, and I used to smoke. I also think you should take your statins at night or before you go to bed. Good luck.

219 is not so high to prompt taking medicine. get a new doctor...chol. is only 1 risk factor, if you are healthy otherwise, and only have a reading of 219, then you're fine, nothing to worry about.
