It depends on your individual medical situation and risk factors. If you have high cholesterol, it is important to discuss with your doctor the pros and cons of taking medications for this condition. You should also consider lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking if you smoke. Talk to your doctor about all of your options so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not to take cholesterol-lowering medications.
