In response to the question of how to treat high cholesterol, the commonly used drugs are lovastatin, simvastatin, fluvastatin and other lipid-lowering drugs, statins are the first choice for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. It has the effect of inhibiting the body's synthesis of cholesterol and lowering the concentration of triglycerides in the blood.
Generally, statins are used to treat any type of hypercholesterolemia except familial (hereditary) hypercholesterolemia (only simvastatin among statins has some effect on familial hypercholesterolemia).
