Thank you. I would appreciate if you would want to share what the cardiologist thinks about this medication. I have been reading about it but whzt I don’t understand is that some physicians prescribe it with statins which doesn’t make sense when the patient doesn’t tolerate them. Anyway. I will keep an eye on responses. Have a great weekend. Stay healthy and safe. Thanks. Vivian

What I understand about when a cardiologist prescribes with a statin, is that the patient can only tolerate less milligrams of a statin than they actually need. When you put these two together it can lower cholesterol to an acceptable level.
