Objective: In recent years, there has been a lot of news about the negative effects of statin use on patients. Our study aimed to investigate the reasons for drug discontinuation in patients with indications for statin use.
Materials and Methods: 180 patients who were indicated to start statin treatment for any reason were included in the study. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and lipid levels at admission were determined.
Results: It was determined that 81.1% of the patients were started on statin treatment. It was observed that patients using regular medication had lower LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and total cholesterol levels than those who did not use medication regularly (p<0.05). It was suggested that the most common reason for patients who had previously started statin treatment to stop taking the medication was discontinuation by the doctor.
Conclusion: Hyperlipidemia is still a significant cause of coronary artery disease today. Our study has shown that treatment compliance in patients, contrary to popular belief, is due to the influence of the physician on the patient rather than the influence of the media.

Amaç: Son yıllarda statin kullanımının hasta üzerindeki olumsuz etkisine dair birçok haber yapılmaktadır. Çalışmamızda, statin kullanma endikasyonu olan hastalarda ilacın bırakılma nedenlerinin ne olduğunun araştırılması amaçlandı.
Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmaya herhangi bir nedenle statin tedavi başlama endikasyonu konulan 180 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik ve klinik özellikleri, kardiyovasküler hastalık risk faktörleri, başvuru esnasındaki lipid düzeyleri belirlendi.
Bulgular: Hastaların %81,1’ine statin tedavisi başlandığı saptandı. Düzenli ilaç kullanan hastaların düzenli ilaç kullanmayanlara göre daha düşük LDL (düşük dansiteli lipoprotein) ve total kolesterol düzeylerine sahip olduğu görüldü (p<0,05). Daha önce statin tedavisi başlanan hastaların en sık ilaç bırakma gerekçesi olarak doktor tarafından kesilmesi ileri sürüldü.
Sonuç: Hiperlipidemi halen günümüzde önemli bir koroner arter hastalığı sebebidir. Çalışmamız, hastalardaki tedavi uyumunun sanılanın aksine medya etkisinden çok hekimin hasta üzerindeki etkisinden kaynaklandığını göstermiştir.
