Medications.: If truly elevated the best and most effective way is medications. Nothing is as powerful as the statin medication class. They take only a day or two to kick in. They are very effective and can lower bad cholesterol by over 50%. To determine your cardiac risk look at the framingham risk calculator and discuss with your doctors.
