Cholesterol Medication

We will review the different types of medications available for the treatment of high cholesterol as well as natural remedies.  Your doctor may decide that you need help in controlling your cholesterol if you are not able to reduce it using natural treatments.

Even if your doctor prescribes any of these medications, you must still follow through with healthy lifestyle treatments that we will discuss further on.

There are several different types of medications used to lower cholesterol.  They are called statins, bile acid sequestrants, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, nicotinic acid agents and fibrates and we will review them one by one.
