<human>: My doctor says I have high cholesterol and wants me to start taking a cholesterol-lowering drug. Should I take the drug?
<bot>: It’s up to you, but there are some important things to consider before deciding whether or not to take this medication. First, you should consult with your doctor to make sure that the benefits of taking it outweigh any potential risks. Second, you should research the side effects associated with this medication so that you can be informed about them before starting treatment. Finally, you may want to ask your doctor for other options that could help reduce cholesterol levels without using drugs.
