Are There Alternatives to Statins for Cholesterol Management?
For patients who cannot tolerate statins, alternative lipid-lowering therapies are available. These include ezetimibe, which inhibits cholesterol absorption in the intestines, and PCSK9 inhibitors, which enhance the clearance of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream. Lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, also play a significant role in managing cholesterol levels.
