THERE ARE MANY DRUGS ONE CAN TAKE BUT YOU NEED A PRESCRIPTION FROM YOUR DOCTOR. A DIET OF LOW CARBOHYDRATES AND FATS ALSO HELPS.

Medication is only one of the actions to take to lower cholesterol. Losing weight, reducing your intake of saturated fats, regular exercise and mediation are all important. You should see a doctor for a prescription of the appropriate medication.
