What Are The Side Effects Of Prolonged Intake Of Medicine For High Cholesterol?

Hi, Iam 32 yrs old ( south indian) and I have 250 levels of cholesterol and I have acid reflux too. For that My doctor have prescribed to take Rosuvas 10 mg in the night and Nexpro 20 mg in the morning for acid reflux - 12 weeks. Considering my age If i take the tablets for 12 weeks and stopped taking it, Will it affect the overall blood stream or I need to be taking the cholesterol lowering drugs for the rest of my life? any side effects of using rosuvas for prolonged time?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. There is no significant side effects practically with cholesterol lowering drug. You need to continue it life long. Drugs for scid reflux also have no side effects. you can stop it after the course is over. No need to continue that.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
