| A variety of medications with different pharmacological mechanisms of action are available for treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Cholesterol-lowering drugs prevent new plaques from forming and help the repair of the damaged blood vessels thus reducing the risk of life-threatening blood clots. The cholesterol-lowering medications include statins, bile acid sequestrants, nicotinic acid, and fibrates. Statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) are very effective in lowering LDL levels and have a good safety profile for most people. |
