Statins, along with diet and exercise, are often not enough for many patients to reach their recommended target.9-11

Additional treatment options may be

their LDL-C and reach their target.

with low statin
tolerance

Not a real patient.

She is an accountant who enjoys going to local sports games with her family. She sees her health care provider 1-2 times a year, but is not overly worried about her LDL-C and often "cycles" on and off her statin because of side effects. June likes things as they are and doesn't want to increase her daily medications.

I wish

lower my cholesterol.
