Lao Li's story has aroused people's attention and thinking about statin drugs. As an important treatment for cardiovascular diseases, statins have obvious lipid-lowering effects and potential hepatoprotective effects, however, their side effects cannot be ignored. When using statins, patients and doctors need to work closely together, paying attention to the following:
First of all, patients should follow the doctor's advice, use statin drugs in strict accordance with the instructions for use and dosage, and do not stop the drug or adjust the dosage on their own, so as not to affect the treatment effect or cause adverse reactions.
Secondly, patients should regularly review relevant indicators, such as liver function, kidney function, blood lipids, etc., and find abnormalities in time and report them to the doctor so that the treatment plan can be adjusted in time.
In addition, the doctor should fully evaluate the patient's physical condition, medical history, and medication when prescribing, select the appropriate statin type and dosage, and inform the patient of possible side effects and precautions.
Finally, communication and trust between patients and physicians are also crucial. Patients should actively reflect their feelings and problems in the process of medication to the doctor, and the doctor should patiently answer the patient's doubts and give necessary guidance and suggestions.
In conclusion, statin drugs have an important place in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, but the correct use and precautions are equally important. Only when patients and doctors work together can the best treatment results be achieved and the health and safety of patients can be guaranteed.
