How to raise HDL Cholesterol (good cholesterol)?
HDL cholesterol less than 35mg/dL is a risk factor, even if your total cholesterol is within limits.

When life style modifications are insufficient, medications are used. In prescribing medications or medication combinations, doctors have to take into account medication side effects as well as presence or absence of other abnormalities in cholesterol profiles.
