Statins+and+dosing+times

=Why take STATINS in the Evening or at Night?=

//AMH Online 2009//: preferably take in the evening, because morning doses are slightly less effective. (Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin can be taken at any time, as they are not affected like this.)

- It is believed that cholesterol production is highest in the EVENING, which is why statins are best taken at that time - However for statins such as atorvastatin which have a long half life, it doesn't matter what time of the day you take it
