Pitavastatin is prescribed to people with high cholesterol levels.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in the fats in the blood. While we need cholesterol to build healthy cells, too much cholesterol can increase the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. Individuals with high cholesterol can lower cholesterol with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and medication like Livalo if necessary.
Genetics play a role in whether or not you have high cholesterol. The liver is responsible for producing most of the cholesterol in the body.
The rest comes from what we eat, including meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
High cholesterol has no symptoms. Many people may not be aware of their high cholesterol until they are tested for it during a routine health exam.
