Statin therapy is a type of medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Statins work by blocking the enzyme in the liver that is responsible for producing cholesterol. This helps to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood and lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. Statin therapy is often prescribed to individuals with high levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol or those at risk for cardiovascular disease. In addition to lowering cholesterol levels, statins have been found to have other beneficial effects on the heart and blood vessels. Overall, statin therapy is a widely used and effective treatment for managing cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
