The drug can also reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or other complications in certain patients, such as those with type 2 diabetes or risk factors for heart disease. Cholesterol-lowering drugs are used along with a diet low in fat and cholesterol; additional lifestyle changes may be recommended.Tell your doctor if any of these apply to you:
