Does my mother really need drugs for high cholesterol?

My mother's doctor has been trying to get my mom on medication for her cholesterol for years. I am perplexed, because her numbers are as follows: Total Chol. 267LDL 133HDL 104Triglycerides 151  With a ratio of 2.6, aren't those numbers actually good? Becky
