The doctor might recommend statins because statins block a substance your liver needs to make cholesterol. Bile acid binding resins because your liver uses cholesterol to make bile acids, a substance needed for digestion. Cholesterol absorption inhibitors because your small intestine absorbs the cholesterol from your diet and releases it into your bloodstream. Finally
Injectable medications because a newer class of drugs, known as PCSK9 inhibitors, can help the liver absorb more LDL cholesterol — which lowers the amount of cholesterol circulating in your blood.
