High Blood Cholesterol and Hyperlipidaemia - Treatments

If your blood lipid levels do not achieve the desirable range despite lifestyle modification, you may need cholesterol-lowering medication. Examples are statins like simvastatin, lovastatin and atorvastatin for cholesterol and fibrates such as gemfibrozil and fenofibrate for triglycerides. These drugs are taken under medical supervision and monitoring as a minority of patients may develop muscle aches, muscle inflammation and liver inflammation, requiring drug regime adjustments.
