Another pertinent point in this discussion comes from Theo:
" In regards to William Smiths' comment on statins and angioedema – this is like the patients who get angioedema on ARBs, though most we see are still hangovers from the ACEI. It pays not to follow up patients too soon! In TRANSCEND (Lancet 2008; 372: 1174–83) the rate of angioedema was higher in the placebo than the ARB arm… Thanks Theo"
