The positive benefits of the cholesterol-reducing tablets far outweigh any negative reactions, an extensive study has concluded.

The drug, taken regularly by eight million patients in the UK, has already led to a marked reduction in people suffering heart attacks.

But thousands of patients give up on the pills after suffering minor side effects such as *headaches, nosebleeds and digestive problems. More serious complications can include kidney *problems ? and in rare cases muscle wastage.

Now, however, research scientists have come to the conclusion that, in most cases, users should continue to take statins.
