How can i lower my ldl cholestrol as it is too high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We have: excellent drugs that do exactly this. Diet and exercise(aerobic) can only lower this a little bit. Statin drugs are much more powerful and can lower LDL like nothing else. Discus with Internist or Cardiology.
