My husband s cholesterol is at 214. Triglycerides at 181. Neither of us are leaning toward a medication that has worse side effects than the disease. They also want him to quit smoking, go to more fish and chicken, etc. I already told them that that isn t going to happen. He s 65 and we ve been married 30 years. I ve already fought those battles and lost. So my question is How Often are side effects seen?
