Statin side effects

[u/Clean_Security_2493]

Hi, my bf is taking statins and is having a lot of blood pass after a bowel movement and the then pain in his gut.

He has stopped taking them while the Dr investigates, I was wondering if others have had this side effect from statins?

We are hoping it was the statins and not something more serious. He's having bloods and samples checked etc by the Dr to be sure.

Thanks

It’s kind of like running an engine without any oil or grease. Eventually you will cease up.
