Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced by the liver and found in certain foods. While your body needs some cholesterol to function, high levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) can cause fatty deposits in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Statins such as Atorvastatin and Simvastatin are the most commonly prescribed treatments for high cholesterol. They work by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced in the liver and help remove excess LDL from the blood.
A licensed prescriber will assess your medical history, lifestyle, and recent blood tests to determine whether statin therapy is suitable for you and which dosage is appropriate.
Atorvastatin and Simvastatin are usually taken once daily, often in the evening. They are well tolerated and can significantly reduce LDL cholesterol levels when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
To support treatment, eat a balanced diet rich in fibre, reduce saturated fats, exercise regularly, and avoid smoking. Periodic blood tests may be required to monitor cholesterol levels and liver function while on statin therapy.
