Compounded Medications for High Cholesterol
Personalized support through customized compounded medications.
At AllMedRx, we prepare compounded medications for high cholesterol based on your provider’s prescription and your individual needs.
Understanding High Cholesterol
High cholesterol, also known as hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipidemia, is a condition in which there are elevated levels of cholesterol and other lipids (fats) in the blood. While cholesterol is essential for building cells and producing certain hormones, too much cholesterol, particularly LDL (low-density lipoprotein or “bad” cholesterol) can accumulate in artery walls, forming plaques that narrow and harden arteries (atherosclerosis).
This buildup increases the risk of serious cardiovascular events including heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. High cholesterol typically has no symptoms, making regular screening through blood tests (lipid panels) essential for early detection and management.
Risk factors for high cholesterol include poor diet (high in saturated and trans fats), lack of physical activity, obesity, smoking, genetics (familial hypercholesterolemia), diabetes, age, and certain medical conditions or medications.
High cholesterol is typically diagnosed by a licensed healthcare provider based on blood tests that measure total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein or “good” cholesterol), and triglycerides.
If you are at risk for or have been diagnosed with high cholesterol, it is important to speak with your provider for proper evaluation and guidance.

Health Implications
Everyone's cholesterol management needs are different. Personalized compounding may be considered when commercially available medications or formulations do not meet a patient's specific needs.
Medications for High Cholesterol: Treatment Options
High cholesterol is often managed through a combination of lifestyle modifications (heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, weight management, smoking cessation) and cholesterol-lowering medications. Your provider will determine which options are appropriate based on your cholesterol levels, cardiovascular risk factors, medical history, and treatment goals.
Common Types of High Cholesterol Medications
Medications such as atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin, or pravastatin may be prescribed by healthcare providers to lower LDL cholesterol by blocking cholesterol production in the liver.
Options such as cholestyramine or colesevelam may be used to bind bile acids in the intestines, prompting the liver to use cholesterol to make more bile acids, depending on the patient’s presentation and provider recommendation.
Medications such as ezetimibe may be prescribed to reduce cholesterol absorption from the diet in the small intestine.
Injectable medications such as evolocumab or alirocumab may be considered for patients with familial hypercholesterolemia or those who cannot tolerate statins.
Medications such as fenofibrate or gemfibrozil may be prescribed primarily to lower triglycerides and raise HDL cholesterol.
Vitamin B3 in prescription doses may be used to improve all cholesterol numbers, though use has declined due to side effects and availability of other options.
Prescription-strength fish oil products may be prescribed to lower very high triglyceride levels.
Many patients require multiple medications to achieve cholesterol targets. Our compounding pharmacy may allow certain medications to be combined into one formulation if prescribed by your provider.
