Dear Sir/Madam
Thanks for your query.
Yes, Medication can bring cholesterol levels down and at times in desired range too. However we normally do not repeat the levels before 12 weeks in our practice. It is assumed that time taken by these medications and life style modification will take some time to bring cholesterol levels down.
