Hi Baldy,
With any medication there is the potential for side effects. I recommended discussing your options with your physician and weighing the pros and cons. I also strongly encourage you to work to lower cholesterol naturally. If you are able to make diet changes to maintain a low cholesterol level, you will not have to rely on medication.
All the best,
