Ask the doctor. Taking a cholesterol-lowering statin has brought down my bad cholesterol (LDL) to only 37 mg/dL. My liver and muscles are fine. The very low LDL worries my doctor. Should I change my regimen?

Ask the doctor. I take medicine to lower my cholesterol. My doctor says that I've reached my target (my LDL is just under 100 mg/dL), but I wonder whether I should try to get my cholesterol even lower. I haven't heard that you'll get hurt by taking too much of these drugs, so why shouldn't I increase my dose?
