Drugs mimic a function your body already performs. That is why all drugs carry side effects with them. Sometimes, it can be necessary if your body needs help and if you will not make the necessary changes to your habits. In this case, the drugs will keep you alive longer than with no drugs.

However, remember that if you decide to take drugs to lower your cholesterol instead of changing your eating and drinking habits, the cost of side effects will appear.

I am not saying you shouldn’t take the medication, just make sure you are fully aware of the pros and cons when you do take it.
