Описание: 📩 Email: [email protected]

Welcome back long gamers!

If you are currently taking a statin or know someone that is currently taking a statin, then this video is here to help you understand these medications.

Statins are the most commonly prescribed medications in the world. So I felt they deserved a video of their own. This week I will explain what these medications are, how they work and what some potential side effects are. If you are putting something in your body, make sure you know how it works.

If you have any questions about statins or any other medication you are taking, please feel free to ask. I'm a pharmacist, so this is what I deal with everyday.

Don't forget to subscribe and give a like if you enjoyed the video. I will see you next week and until then, keep playing the long game.
