ADVERTISEMENTS
People who have had a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain should avoid taking cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins, according to some researchers.

The study information may be found here: http://archneur.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/archneurol.2010.356

Historically, concerns about increased ICH risk with lipid-lowering drug therapy have centered on epidemiological studies linking low cholesterol levels with an increased rate of hemorrhagic stroke.  "
