Here or there -the reason I listed the source of medicinenet -was that you should look it up. You health-eccentrics sound silly with all your conspiracy theories.
Here is the rest of the reason from the FDA quoted in Medicinenet: “First, statin drugs are associated with muscle and kidney injury when used alone or combined with other medications. There is concern that patients who already take statin drugs with or without these other medications may increase their risk of muscle or kidney injury.
Second, the FDA considers the products containing red yeast rice with high levels of cholesterol lowering substances to be new, unapproved drugs for which marketing violates the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.”
