High total cholesterol can be lowered by lifestyle intervention and medication.
1. Lifestyle intervention: stop smoking, stop drinking, limit the intake of cholesterol-rich food, such as animal offal, fatty meat, etc.; increase the amount of exercise, such as running, cycling, climbing, yoga, playing badminton, etc.; control body weight.
2. Medication: Lovastatin, Rosuvastatin and other lipid-lowering drugs can be used for treatment, and ezetimibe can also be used to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol.
Patients with high total cholesterol need to go to the hospital and receive standardized treatment under the doctor’s guidance, and it is not recommended to use medication on your own.
