medications that lower cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase

Statins, also known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, are a class of medications used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. They work by blocking the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is involved in the production of cholesterol in the liver. This helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.
