In my opinion it's the best for that purpose. Super low chance of any sides, *uniquely* among statins it boosts HDL count and *function* (an overlooked factor, poor quality HDL is worse than low quality). It IMPROVES insulin resistance rather than reducing it. Doses are minuscule. 4mg is the top dose equivalent to 20mg Crestor.

If 4 mg doesn't bring LDL below 70, you can add Ezetimebe, another near zero side effect LDL lowering compound to lower it further. You can ask for that on telehealth as well. By the way, once you have a prescription bottle in hand, it's easy to come up with a story about how you got it (I got paranoid about all my relatives who died from heart attacks so called a telemedicine doctor to discuss my lipids) and any PCP will generally be willing to pick up the prescription from there.
If you tell them it's working well for you, they have no reason to object. Another doctor "greenlighting" a med eliminates resistance to PCPs prescribing it.
I've done this numerous times for daily cialis, oral minoxidil, finasteride, etc.
