See doctor: Are you overweight? Did the doctor first advise you to change your diet and get more exercise? Do you have a strong family history of heart disease? The answers to these questions will determine if you need to stay on this drug long term or not. If your dr. Did not first advise lifestyle changes to lower your cholesterol, then find one that believes in this approach.
