TIME TO MOVE BEYOND THE STATIN NOCEBO EFFECT
Yale School of Medicine
PDF3 pages1.7 MB
Statins have been extensively studied and shown to provide significant benefits in cardiovascular health. However, a critical issue remains: many patients who could benefit from statins do not take them due to perceived side effects, often influenced by misinformation. This editorial emphasizes the need for better communication and education regarding the actual risks and benefits of statin therapy to improve patient adherence. It also calls for a reevaluation of how side effects are presented to patients to mitigate the nocebo effect.
