Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs
Captions available
The idea
Antilipemic drugs lower high blood fats, which can lead to stroke and heart attack.
In practice
Atorvastatin, sold as Lipitor, reduces the body's cholesterol production and lowers so-called bad cholesterol.
Where people slip
These drugs are meant to work alongside diet and exercise approved by the provider, not to replace them.
