I've been told that I need to take a cholesterol medication. What should I do?

It is important to consult with your doctor before taking any medications, especially if you have not done so in the past. They can provide information on which medications are best for you and what side effects they may have. Additionally, it is recommended that you speak to your doctor about whether or not you would benefit from taking cholesterol-lowering medications, as there are many other ways to manage high cholesterol levels.
