Does continuous treatment of Hypercholesterolemia with statins create any adverse effect on liver?


I have been taking statins for the last 11 months for hypercholestrolemia.Will it create any adverse effect on the functions of my liver. Since I am also on treatment with anti anxiety and anti depressant drugs, my trigylceride levels are not lowering so doctor advised to take statins 10 mg per day continuosly.I do not have any liver disease.

# Changes in liver function occur in a small fraction of people; your doctor will probably monitor blood tests to check that your liver continues to function well. If the liver function becomes too abnormal, your doctor will stop the drug. The liver is expected to return to normal function.
