Cholesterol Drugs? Cholestorol drugs is a common misspelling of cholesterol drugs.

If lifestyle changes alone are not effective in lowering cholesterol, your healthcare provider may prescribe cholesterol drugs. There are five major types of cholesterol-lowering medications, including bile acid sequestrants, fibrates, nicotinic acid, statins, and cholesterol absorption inhibitors. If your goal LDL level is not reached after three months of taking a single cholesterol medication, your doctor may consider starting a second medicine along with it. Although cholesterol drugs do not cure high cholesterol, they can help control cholesterol levels.
