Statins withdrawal, vascular complications, rebound effect and similitude

Marcus Zulian Teixeira

 

Hahnemann considered the secondary action of medicines to be a law of nature
and reviewed the conditions under which it occurs. It is closely related to
the rebound effects observed with many modern drugs. I review the evidence
of the rebound effect of statins that support the similitude principle. In
view of their indications in primary and secondary prevention of
cardiovascular diseases, statins are widely prescribed. Besides reducing
cholesterol biosynthesis, they provide vasculoprotective effects
(pleiotropic effects), including improvement of endothelial function,
increased nitric oxide bioavailability, antioxidant properties, inhibition
of inflammatory and thrombogenic responses, stabilisation of atherosclerotic
plaques, and others. Recent studies suggest that suspension of statin
treatment leads to a rebound imparing of vascular function, and increasing
morbidity and mortality in patients with vascular diseases. Similarly to
other classes of modern palliative drugs, this rebound effect is the same as
a secondary action or vital reaction described by Samuel Hahnemann, and used
in homeopathy in a therapeutic sense.
