A new study examining 20 years of reports submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found an association between amnesia and four widely used cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, including atorvastatin, the most commonly prescribed drug in America. The finding comes 14 years after the FDA first acknowledged reports of memory loss, forgetfulness, confusion, and amnesia among statin users. Yet despite millions of people taking these drugs every day, the new research has essentially been ignored by the mainstream media.
