Cholesterol Management
This category covers medicines that lower cholesterol and other blood fats to reduce the long-term risk of heart attack and stroke. They work best alongside diet and activity. Because the benefit is invisible day to day, the reason for taking these medicines is the cardiovascular risk they reduce over years.
Key points
- These medicines lower long-term cardiovascular risk, which is why they are taken without producing any felt effect.
- Statins are the main class, with ezetimibe and fibrates addressing what a statin alone does not.
- Diet, activity and smoking status change the size of the benefit rather than being replaced by the tablet.
Classes and ingredients in this category
- Statins such as atorvastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin are the mainstay.
- Add-on options like ezetimibe and the fibrate fenofibrate target stubborn or high triglycerides.
Conditions it covers
These medicines are used for hypercholesterolaemia, mixed dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular risk reduction. Target levels differ with overall risk, so the same result can be acceptable for one person and not another.
