Question

_____ can be prescribed to therapeutically lower cholesterol levels.

Answer 1

Answer:

Niacin  can be prescribed to therapeutically lower cholesterol levels.

Explanation:

Niacin, known as vitamin B3, is used to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in people with high cholesterol. Niacin has gained popularity in the last 50 years and is mainly used to raise the level of HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol, also known as good cholesterol and lowering bad cholesterol levels.

However, niacin can cause health damage, so it should always be used with medical supervision.
