Although some studies stress the beneficial effects of statins outweigh the potential side effects, I have a clear opinion that there should be no place for statins & vitamin D in the treatment of hemorrhagic strokes.

statin is not only lower lipid but also it act as antiinflamatory and antioxidant effect.directly it not involve to modulate haemorragic strokebut indirectly modify process that helps long term recovery. as antioxidant vit D also role in stroke speacialy ischemic with also halt neurodegeneration.

Agree, but is it not likely that these studies may have been performed under financial protection with commercial interests of the pharmaceutical giants?
Also, vitamin C is a far better & the safest antioxidant i.e. a powerful reducing agent that vitamin D, which has insignificant antioxidant property. So, why is it being neglected?
