Just to note my Dr wanted to keep my statin at 20 mg, but I insisted lowering it to 10mg along with the zetia.
He didn't think there would be enough drop in my LDL ... But it did go lower than when on the 20mg alone.
Also my DR asked for LDL Cholesterol Direct in my blood work vs LDL Cholesterol Calc.
The LDL Cholesterol Direct is more accurate.
Where the other number is a calculation.
I had a 8 point difference between the two and my Direct number was the lower number.
