Hi Mark,

 

I believe I "answered" your previous question and I'm sorry I didn't provide a direct yes or no answer.  Maybe another expert for the site will chime in with an answer, but I wanted to let you know that your pharmacist is a great resource when it comes to medication.  Also, the link below will take you to a page where you can learn more about cholesterol medications.

All the best,
