I am sure that there are plenty of us that take statin drugs. But given the new announcements that it can lead to higher levels of dimensia and pain, some are starting to skip the drug and this shot could be a much easier and cheaper way of dealing with the condition.
MIRACLE JAB Heart attack ‘vaccine’ available in just SIX years to knock cholesterol busting statins off the shelves
Side-effects of the jab include an increased risk of developing diabetes
AN injection that lowers cholesterol to protect against heart attacks will be available within six years, doctors hope.
The once-a-year jab, now being tested in clinical trials, would end the need to take daily statin pills for millions of patients.
It works by boosting the body’s ability to remove cholesterol from the blood, cutting levels by as much as a third in high-risk adults.
The treatment could be on the market as soon as 2023 at a cost of between £625 and £1,200 a time, say researchers.
Dr Tim Chico, from Sheffield University, said the inventive new therapy “would be likely to lead to a reduction in heart attacks”.
Cholesterol contributes to the stiffening and narrowing of arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
About 160,000 deaths in Britain every year are down to heart or circulatory disease.
More than seven million adults take 6p-a-day statin tablets to cut the risk.
