Dr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to review some possibly outdated information on modern statin bottles. Kevin reveals that he dutifully takes his statin at night and avoids grapefruit, but cardiologist Michael Koren, MD, gives updated advice. The doctor states that rosuvastatin, a newer statin, is long-acting, and that taking it at night may not be as necessary as in earlier statin types.  The doctor then states that rosuvastatin was also developed to avoid the interactions between statins and grapefruit, and that small amounts of grapefruit may be ok for Kevin to consume.
