Who Needs Cholesterol-lowering Medicine

Your treatment plan for high cholesterol will depend on your current cholesterol levels and your risk of heart disease and stroke. Your risk for heart disease and stroke depends on other risk factors, including high blood pressure and high blood pressure treatment, smoking status, age, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, total cholesterol level, diabetes, family history, and whether you have already had a heart attack or stroke.

Your health care provider may prescribe medicine if:

You have already had a heart attack or stroke, or you have peripheral arterial disease.

Your LDL cholesterol level is 190 mg/dL or higher.

You are 40–75 years old with diabetes and an LDL cholesterol level of 70 mg/dL or higher.

You are 40–75 years old with a high risk of developing heart disease or stroke and an LDL cholesterol level of 70 mg/dL or higher.
