Those numbers aren't terrible. Have you tried a low fat diet? Weight loss? Exercise? Are you diabetic? Have you had any cardo "events"?

Those items are essentially a necessity if you expect any benefit from a chosterol lowering med. The med won't do it all by itself.

@soggybones thanks for the reply, I agree with the thought that the numbers are not that bad. I am not a diabetic and I am working hard to lose weight and eat better. I did a CT scan and do have 5% plaque in my arteries.
