🇸🇬 statin

A statin is a type of cholesterol-lowering medication commonly prescribed to individuals at risk of heart disease. In Singapore, statins have been trending recently due to increased awareness and discussions about their effectiveness in preventing cardiovascular events. However, details about the current spike are limited. Statins work by inhibiting the production of cholesterol in the liver, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and are often prescribed to individuals with high cholesterol or a history of heart disease.
