Taking cholesterol medicine depends upon many factors like if you have any other diseases like hypertension, heart problem, diabetes,etc,.If any one of your family member suffers from above problems, your working style and weight.
So my advice just don't go on values of cholesterol.
Take appropriate consultation from your doctor. Don't stop or start medicines by self.
