High cholestrol

2022-08-27 11:27:42
My father has been given tab. Rosuvas 10 mg as he had cholestrol level total : 247 , ldl : 170 in blood test few days ago. He is non diabetic and has no history of smoking drinking or blood pressure. One year ago he had same cholestrol level and was given same tablet for 2 months but couldn't get blood tested due to covid. My question is will tab rosuvas needed to be taken life long or is there any hopes of getting cholestrol reduced with good diet and tab in 3 months??

With values of lipids you have mentioned here ,his risk factors calculator indicates  he falls in moderate risk category.In such cases his LDL needs to be lowered by at least 30%)- moderate intensity statin (rosuaststin 20mg) is ideal for him .In medical terms he has to use it indefinitely.
Next Steps
simultaneously life style change, avoid fatty food reduction in alcohol drinks, and exercise daily for 30 minutes will lead to significant reduction in LDL

If he can look after his diet and exercise and is regular with the medicine , his cholesterol levels will become normal and then he can stop the medicine.
