The Staten General

The Staten General, or Statin General, is a term that refers to a group of medications known as statins, which are commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. High cholesterol can lead to heart disease and strokes, so statins help reduce the risk of these conditions. They work by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that plays a key role in producing cholesterol. Statins are often recommended for individuals with high cholesterol or a higher risk of cardiovascular issues, and they are generally considered safe, though they can have side effects for some people.
