Do you still take statins if your cholesterol is low

Whether or not you still need to take a statin when your cholesterol is low can be determined by the patient’s specific medical condition, and patients with a high risk of cardiovascular disease will need to continue taking them. Statin drugs can reduce the level of cholesterol, taking drugs in the process if the cholesterol level appeared to decline, whether need to continue to take drugs to understand the patient’s specific condition. For patients with purely elevated lipids, the medication can be appropriately discontinued, and lipid levels can be controlled through lifestyle and dietary adjustments. Patients with elevated cholesterol who have high prevalence factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, or already have cerebral infarction, coronary heart disease and other diseases, need to continue to take oral statin drugs for treatment to reduce the level of density lipoprotein, control at 1.8mmol/L, and even lower if the condition is serious. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should have their blood lipids rechecked on a regular basis to ensure that their blood lipid levels are up to standard and that they are given the correct treatment under the guidance of their physicians.
