Key Takeaways• Discontinuing statin therapy results in increased cardiovascular risk. • The nocebo effect is a common reason for perceived statin intolerance. • Statin intolerance is much less commonly reported in clinical trials than in clinical practice, suggesting that patient education and other safeguards employed in clinical trials are important to include in clinical practice. • Several strategies are available that can enable continuation of statin therapy in patients who are truly statin-intolerant.
