The benefits of the cholesterol-reducing drug statins are underestimated and the harms exaggerated, a major review suggests.
Published in the Lancet and backed by a number of major health organisations, it says statins lower heart attack and stroke risk.
The review also suggests side effects such as muscle pain do occur, although in relatively few people.
But critics say healthy people are unnecessarily taking medication.
Victoria Derbyshire presenter Chloe Tilley spoke to the author of the report Rory Collins, Dr Malcolm Kendrick who is a GP and author of The Great Cholesterol Con, Martin Gillingham, a former athlete, who feels that if he had been on statins he would not have had a heart attack and Maria Whitefield, who was prescribed statins aged 19.
