Hello,
You are right in saying that statins may cause memory
loss. Statin drugs cause terrible side effects
for some users, including mental confusion, memory
loss and a general loss of mental focus. The cardiovascular benefits of statins are well established,but the effects of these agents on the human brain are not as well established. The more lipid-soluble the statin, the greater propensity it has to cross the blood-brain barrier and affect the central nervous system.
