I stand by what I said, not everyone needs an ultra high potency statin. The relationship between the benefits of statins and increasing HDL are unclear, but anyone who's concerned can try simvastatin 40mg - a very effective dose which costs our health service about £0.40 per box, and also raises HDL.
