Question about Chol. medications


I am presently taking a Pravachol which is a statin medication to control
cholesterol. I have some muscle pain and joint pain. I recently found out
that statin medications cause some people to develop Rhabdomyolysis.

Are there any medications other than statin medications that can be used
to control cholesterol?
