The Online Clinic is pleased to announce that it is now able to prescribe statins to qualifying patients. Before we can assess you for these cholesterol lowering medications, you must visit your doctor to get a blood test to establish whether you have raised cholesterol levels. You should also ask your doctor to check whether you have elevated levels of C Reactive Protein. A recent trial of a statin called Crestor has established that patients with elevated levels of C Reactive Protein can benefit from the use of Crestor even if their cholesterol levels are within the normal range. The benefits included substantially reduced incidents of cardiovascular events.
