I'm curious to hear from others who've had experience with this medication. Have you noticed any significant improvements in your cholesterol levels? What side effects (if any) did you experience? I've heard some scary things about muscle pain and liver issues, but my doctor assured me these are rare. Still, I'd love to know if anyone has had any concerning experiences or tips for managing side effects. Thanks!
