Suppresses absorption of Vitamin E. This medication is commonly used for High Cholesterol
Research has found vitamin E supplementation significantly increased the antioxidative capacity of LDL, which was partially abolished by statin therapy. Supplementation with vitamin E should be considered for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce the oxidation of LDL and help protect against cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin E depletion reduces antioxidant protection of neuronal membranes, leading over time to sensory axonopathy, peripheral neuropathy, ataxia and, occasionally, myopathy.
Severe vitamin E deficiency weakens erythrocyte membranes and skeletal muscle fibers, predisposing to hemolytic anemia and proximal muscle weakness.
