The term "cholesterol medicine" refers to any medication or treatment that is designed to help lower cholesterol levels in a person's blood. Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced by our bodies and found in many foods we eat, such as meat, eggs, and dairy products. It is essential for the proper functioning of cells, but high levels can lead to health problems like heart disease or stroke. Therefore, cholesterol medicine may include medications that help reduce cholesterol production by the liver, promote its removal from the body through bowel movements, or prevent it from being absorbed in the first place. Examples of such medicines are statins and ezetimibe.
