If you have high colestrol and get pills for it how does the body seperate it out from the body, is it urin ?

You make less: The most popular cholesterol pills prevent you from making the stuff. This is simplistic but basically accurate. Other meds have other mechanisms of action. Cholesterol is a lipid so it's not water-soluble and won't be leaving in the urine.
