Cholesterol treatment guide

Cholesterol (statin) treatment online in Virginia and West Virginia

This guide is for starting or continuing a statin with a lipid panel result from within the past 6 months — every visit is reviewed by a cardiology-fellowship-trained physician. Not for pregnancy/trying to conceive/breastfeeding, active liver disease, prior statin-related muscle breakdown, current muscle symptoms, or a triglyceride level over 500.

为 Cholesterol treatment (statins) 开始一次 $59 的在线审核。

Statins remain the most effective and best-studied medications for lowering LDL cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular risk. If you have a lipid panel result from within the last 6 months, a physician with cardiology fellowship training can review your history and start or continue an appropriate statin online — matching the medication and intensity to your risk profile.

如果治疗合适，医生可以将非管制药物处方发送到您的药房，并通过门户网站向您提供说明。

Why do I need a recent lipid panel to get a statin?

A current lipid panel confirms your cholesterol and triglyceride levels so the right statin and intensity can be chosen for your risk profile, and it rules out a very high triglyceride level, which changes what's safe to prescribe. Results from within the last 6 months are required.

What does 'reviewed by a cardiology-fellowship-trained physician' mean?

Every cholesterol visit through this lane is reviewed by a physician who completed additional fellowship training in cardiology, on top of standard medical training — bringing specialized experience in cardiovascular risk assessment to your treatment decision.

Where can I get a lipid panel?

You can get a lipid panel at most labs, urgent care clinics, or your primary care office — some labs also offer walk-in or self-ordered testing, often fasting is preferred but not always required. Once you have a result, take a clear photo of the lab report and use it for your visit.
