Professor question: Why are statins recommended in the evening instead of morning? (pg 561) After starting John on insulin, he calls the office saying he feels bad. He said when he checked his blood sugar before calling it was 52 mg/dl. What instructions should he be given? Answer from classmate: Statins are recommended to be taken in the evening. Cholesterol synthesis is highest through the night and first thing in the morning. The biosyntheses of cholesterol follows a normal circadian rhythm. Administration at night allows for the medication to be at peak levels in the body during the time of high cholesterol synthesis (Korani et al., 2019).
