Concerning my biometrics. i take medication to help with my cholesterol. my question is once my cholesterol is lowered and is under control will l still have to take medication ?

Yes: The numbers will not stay normal if not taking and studies showed that statins are beneficial regardless of their effect on cholesterol level. Confirm with your prescribing doc goals for your treatment.
