I started taking medicine for high cholesterol a month ago and just went back for a cholesterol retest. It was still high but had dropped quite a bit. Will it continue to go down on the doseage I'm on or does the medicine need to be adjusted? Is a month long enough to see the full effect of the medicine?

Yes, it will continue to go down, and will level out in about six months. You do need to continue a healthy life style tho', the drug can't do it all.

Mine went down after the first retest (1 month later), and was even lower on the 6 month retest. However, you still need to watch what you eat and get some exercise to help keep the cholesterol level down.

Does the medicine remove the plaque from your arteries
