Which statin is NOT recommended to be taken in the evening?

  1. Fluvastatin

  2. Lovastatin (Altoprev)

  3. Simvastatin (Zocor)

  4. Rosuvastatin

The correct answer is: Rosuvastatin

Rosuvastatin is the correct answer because it is the only statin in the list that is not specifically recommended to be taken in the evening. Fluvastatin, Lovastatin (Altoprev), and Simvastatin (Zocor) are all statins that are typically advised to be taken in the evening or at bedtime due to their peak action during the night when the body's cholesterol production is at its peak. Rosuvastatin, on the other hand, does not have a specific recommendation for nighttime dosing and can be taken at any time of the day. Therefore, it is the statin NOT recommended to be taken in the evening.
