A statin after the risk conversation
The patient in front of you has just been dispensed Atorvastatin. Counsel them in plain language; check their understanding before you finish. Their concerns are theirs to reveal, not yours to read.

My numbers are not even that high. Why would I take a drug my sister had to stop, that everyone online says ruins your muscles?
Tip: check understanding before you finish. Ask the patient to repeat the plan back.
Drug page: find Atorvastatin in the Drug Explorer to study its counselling points before or after a session.
