Answer to Question 1

As a general rule, physicians prefer a trial of diet therapy before prescribing drugs to lower blood lipid amounts. It is always preferable to reduce cholesterol in the diet verses taking a medication that may also have side effects. It is also encouraged that people continue to choose foods low in fat and cholesterol even if on cholesterol lowering medications.
