Medical News Summary (summary of medical news story as reported by Only Punjab): High cholesterol over time can lead to cholesterol deposits in arteries which in turn leads to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis increases the risk of heart disease and strokes which can be fatal. Current cholesterol drugs such as Lipitor, Zocor and Mevacor reduce cholesterol via the liver. These drugs are generally expensive and can have side effects such as liver damage. A new drug called CHOLESTEROL, developed by HERBALmax has a more direct approach by removing cholesterol from arteries. It metabolizes cholesterol and blood lipid and leads to improvement in heart and liver function as well as often resulting in weight loss.
