Statins are known to be safe, but some patients discontinue the therapy due to adverse effects. Given the clinical benefits of statin therapy, it is important to find different strategies to maintain its use. The aims of this systematic review were to summarize and critically appraise evidence of the efficacy, tolerability, and economic evaluation of non-daily statin administration in the past ten years.
