Diet and medication: You have not reported your risk factors for cad. Diet along with medication is probably needed to bring your LDL at target.

Medications: Not speaking about you specifically, but it would be very hard to bring your LDL down to goal without medication. Keep a diet low in fat and cholesterol and high in fiber, and exercise regularly, but discuss medications with your doctor as well.
