TEENAGERS need STATINS

Statins are primarily used to lower cholesterol levels, which can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, most teens do not have high enough cholesterol levels to warrant statin use. Additionally, the long-term effects of statins on young people are still being studied.

If you or your teen are concerned about cholesterol levels, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider. They can assess your individual situation and recommend appropriate steps, which may include lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise.
