    Cholesterol Medication

    Even if you've been diagnosed with high blood cholesterol, it doesn't mean it's the end for you. There's many of cholesterol medication available. Treatments include cholesterol medications that one can get over-the-counter, prescribe cholesterol medications and alternative methods. Cholesterol medications differ in every person.
    Cholesterol apheresis is a new kind of cholesterol medication. It is a treatment that if the alteration of lifestyle, natural alternatives and high dosage of prescription don't work. Also known as LDL apheresis, this new cholesterol medication is very much like the regimen of kidney dialysis. The blood of a patients arm is drained with a catheter. The blood plasma is then separated from the rest of the blood with the help of a machine. The blood is then returned to the patient while the plasma is being filtered. The LDL (low density lipoprotein), VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) and Lp(a) (lipoprotein A) is separated from the rest of the plasma. The plasma is then returned to the patient upon completion. This cholesterol medication regimen lasts for 3 hours. The only side effect of this cholesterol medication is the low blood pressure of the patient.
    Natural medicine is also another technique of treating high blood cholesterol. This type of cholesterol medication is usually related with vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids and other biological compounds. Researchers say that some certain amino acids lower the cholesterol level. However, these kinds of amino acids can not be acquired via food or isn't produced by our body. You can only get these amino acids via the pharmacy or nutrition store.
    When diet and exercise fails, prescription medication is the backup of cholesterol medication. Consult or ask your doctor so that you will know what type of cholesterol medication is right for you. There are dissimilar types of prescription medication. These are:
    * Absorption Inhibitors - a newly discovered type of drugs that only contains ezetimibe. Stops the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine.
    * Bile Acid Sequestrants - also called "bile acid resins", prevents cholesterol from being absorbed into circulation by binding to bile in the minute intestine.
    * Fibric Acid Derivatives - also known as fibrates. It reduces the production of triglycerides and enhances the HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and decreases the LDL cholesterol levels (bad cholesterol).
    * Nicotinic Acid - more known as "niacin" or "vitamin B-3". It lowers the triglycerides and low density lipoprotein. Increases the level of HDL. The side effect varies from person to person. These include flushing, night sweats, palpitations, cardiac fibrillations, decreased glucose tolerance, migraines and skin hyperpigmentation.
    * Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids - commonly used for treating high cholesterol and high triglyceride levels.
    * Statin Drugs - the the bulk commonly used in treating high cholesterol that cant be controlled by diet therapy and regular exercise.
