A member asked:
What other options does someone have who has hyperlipidemia but has statin intolerance? btw coq10 does nothing to help with the statin side-effects.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hyperlipidemia: Other options include Zetia, (ezetimibe) Niacin, yeast extracts, gemfibrozil, questran and probably a couple of older meds I've forgotten. And of course diet and exercise.
