About High Cholesterol

Most adults should have their cholesterol checked every 4 to 6 years. If you have risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease, your provider may recommend testing more frequently.

Statins are typically prescribed if you:

  • Have high LDL (“bad”) cholesterol

  • Have a history of heart disease or stroke

  • Are at high risk for cardiovascular conditions
    Your iVisitDoc provider will evaluate your health history and lab results to determine if statins are right for you.

Side effects vary by medication but may include muscle aches, fatigue, digestive issues, or liver enzyme changes. Serious side effects are rare. Your provider will monitor for any concerns and adjust your treatment if needed.

Our treatment protocols follow evidence-based guidelines from:

  • American Heart Association (AHA)

  • U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)

  • National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)
