How to control: medication
In some people with high cholesterol diet and not enough exercise. Like you, I need to add medication to the entire prescribed treatment plan.
The cholesterol-lowering drugs work in different ways. The two most common are:
* Slowing the production of LDL and body
* Make the body to convert excess cholesterol into useful acids that help digestion
Remember
The drugs do not cure high cholesterol such as antibiotics cure an ear infection, but for most people is the key to keeping your cholesterol under control.
What does “control”
To wear glasses does not change his eyes, but while the bears look good and can make normal life. Controlling high cholesterol is virtually the same: so long the treatment will keep your cholesterol level where it belongs and can lead active lives.
Unnecessary risk control is important to remember that you can prevent heart disease by controlling situations that constitute a risk:
*
- Maintain blood pressure where it belongs
*
- Keep your cholesterol level where it belongs
*
- Maintain proper weight for your body Finding an exercise program that you can enjoy the
*
- If you smoke, try to leave Ask your doctor how you can reduce your risk for heart and blood vessel diseases.
Tips to remember your medication:
* – Make everyday events such as dinner or bedtime, to remember to take medications, instead of being guided by the clock.
* – Store your medications in a safe place, but where I can not forget
* – Have a spare bottle of medication at work, purse or briefcase (ask the pharmacist for the type of appropriate medication bottle)
