"Despite the low toxicity and high therapeutic value of statins, I don’t think they should be offered OTC. The analogy with other formerly prescription only medications like H2 blockers or antihistamines is poor. Those drugs are useful for episodic use for symptomatic conditions, not continuous treatment of silent ones."
