Using these medicines

These medicines are taken for cardiovascular risk over years, even though the effect is not noticeable from day to day. Statins are the main class. Ezetimibe reduces cholesterol absorption in the gut. Bempedoic acid reduces cholesterol production in the liver by a different route from statins. Fenofibrate mainly lowers triglycerides. These options also address needs that a statin alone may not cover. A tablet does not replace diet, activity or stopping smoking; these factors alter how much benefit is gained. Because overall risk varies, a cholesterol result that is acceptable for one person may not be acceptable for another.
