Well, ALL prescription medications are poisons by definition, the trick is to dose them in a way that they do more good to you than bad. If they weren't poisons, they would be OTC and wouldn't be strictly controlled by prescriptions. Shit, even then, ****ing Tylenol is DEADLY to your liver if you take too much in even as little as over a few days.

Like I said, talk to your MD or pharmacist, they'll let you know what you can and can't do. Also, don't fret too much, lol. People live out long lives on statins, without which your life can be cut short in a split second or even worse can cripple you in the worst ways.
