Another good news about statin drug reported recently. The heart benefits from statin drug can long time even after stopping taking statin drug. It is found in the University of Glasgow that men who took pravastatin had lower risk of heart attack even after 10 years of stopping it.

The results showed that those who used pravastatin around 11 percent of danger of developing heart disease. However, those who used placebo had about 15 percent during the study period( 5 years).
