Can a lower dose of a common heart pill be safer for seniors?
NCT ID NCT03770312
Summary
This study aims to find the safest and most effective dose of a cholesterol-lowering drug (statin) for preventing heart disease in healthy adults over 70. Researchers will compare a low dose to a moderate dose in about 724 participants, focusing on side effects like muscle pain. The goal is to provide clearer guidance for doctors on which dose offers the best balance of protection and safety for older patients.
