Added on top of the statin. Easy, cheap, and got me the rest of the way.

Their story

My LDL was only borderline, so I wasn't worried until a calcium scan came back much higher than expected. That changed the conversation with my doctor. I started rosuvastatin, then added ezetimibe when my LDL didn't drop as far as we wanted.
