Separate issues: Statins are a class of pharmaceuticals that can help lower your lipid profile. You need a prescription from your local doc. A lower fat diet and more oral hydration will also help. Once gallstones form, they stay with you or pass through a delicate duct system. Passing gallstones can cause serious health issues, which is why surgical removal of diseased gallbladders is recommended.
