Question: Is it true that higher doses of cholesterol medication reduce my risk of future heart attack?
Answer: Cholesterol medicines are one of the cornerstones of therapy to help prevent heart attacks and serious cardiac complications amongst patients with coronary artery disease. And what the appropriate dose is for your specific situation is best determined by your physician with a thorough analysis of your blood cholesterol levels. There are a number of constituents to the cholesterol that are measured when you get your blood lipid values done, and on the basis of those, your physician can recommend what the appropriate medication is, and what the correct dose of that medication is.
