If a person is having LDL level of 112, does he need to take aztor to reduce the chlostrol ## For healthy individuals the desirable LDL level is less than 100, for those considered at high risk of cardiac problems, the ideal level is considered 70 or less, so yes, the doctor will normally want anyone with a level over 100 to use a medication and dietary options to lower it.

Lovallo is prescribed for lowering LDLs is Pivasta its equivalent? ## Pivasta (Pitavastatin) is used together with lifestyle changes (diet, weight-loss, exercise) to reduce the amount of fatty substances in your blood such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') and to increase the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ('good cholesterol'). I have not found specific details about Lovallo in regards to comparing the two drugs, so I'm unable to tell you if these two drugs are "equivalent" in that sense; but according to your description, both drugs do serve the same purpose. I hope this helps!
