High Cholesterol

High cholesterol means having too much fatty substance in your blood, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke over time. GetMyMeds offers cholesterol-lowering treatments, with suitability reviewed by a clinician.

How It Works

1. Complete an online consultation. Share your health details, any recent cholesterol readings, your medical history and other medicines you take.
2. A clinician reviews suitability. Our prescribing team assesses whether treatment is appropriate, and may ask for up-to-date blood test results or recommend you see your GP.
3. Discreet delivery. If approved, your treatment is dispensed and delivered discreetly.

Who Is It For

Cholesterol-lowering medicines such as statins are typically used by people who have been advised to lower their cholesterol, often alongside diet and lifestyle changes. They may be appropriate for those continuing an existing prescription or who have been assessed as being at increased cardiovascular risk. Because managing cholesterol usually involves ongoing monitoring, our clinicians may ask for recent test results and encourage regular reviews with your GP.

FAQ

Do I still need lifestyle changes if I take medication? Yes. A healthy diet, regular activity, not smoking and maintaining a healthy weight remain important and work alongside any prescribed treatment.

Will I need blood tests? Cholesterol treatment is usually guided by blood tests, both to confirm the need for treatment and to monitor its effect. Our clinicians may request recent results.

Can I get a statin without seeing my GP? A clinician must review your suitability, and ongoing care is often best shared with your GP, who holds your full medical record and arranges monitoring.
