It says: “Statins help to stabilise the fatty, hardened parts of the arteries, known as plaques.
“Plaques can form when you have high cholesterol or other problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes.”
It also notes if you forget to take your tablet, carry on as normal the next day, and don’t take an extra one to make up for it.
“Avoid grapefruit juice if you are taking simvastatin, and no more than one or two small glasses of grapefruit juice if you are taking atorvastatin,” it warns.
