A doctor has provided 1 answer

Internist or GP: I wasn't aware of a contraindication between statins and oral contraceptives. There are other options to use for hyperlipidemia depending upon how severe and significant the problem is in each case. I doubt your gynecologist would be experienced in the use of these other agents so you would have to consult your GP or a specialist like an internist or cardiologist to prescribe and follow up.
