There are 3 drugs for which there isn't very good evidence, but they are cheap, relatively safe, and may have benefit for other conditions: aspirin, metformin, and statins. My opinion is - why not? Not to be a downer, but there's this kind of "evidence" of no effect for statins too. What we really need to see are randomized clinical trials, but no one wants to pay for them. But meanwhile, as long as one doesn't get some of those annoying side effects from it (like myopathy), why not?
