Medication: If refraining from animal products and using supplements and herbals are not sufficient to decrease your ldl, you're likely to need a medication, like a statin or a fibrate to help bring your LDL down.

Find and Fix Causes: The first step is to determine if the LDL is elevated due to an acquired medical condition. If treatable conditions are identified i would manage those and start diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications. Soluble fiber and plant stanols can be used to lower ldl. If medications are needed options include statins, agents to decrease gut cholesterol absorption (ezetimibe, colesevelam) and niacin.
