Answer:

Statin or HMG-COA reductase inhibitors are medicatios that the America College of cargiology and American heart Association recommend to treat elevated blood cholesterol levels. Because they lower the LDL.

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand one thing here, there are two types of cholesterol. One that is good and one that is bad, this is basic biochemistry. The high-density lipoprotein or good cholesterol is the cholesterol we can absorb naturally. The low-density lipoprotein is the bad cholesterol that we can't process or absorb with naturality. So, what happens here? one of them is very well absorbed while the other is not. Also, the good type o cholesterol not only is better assimilated by our body but if helps us clean ourselves from bad cholesterol. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors act in a better way that good cholesterol because they help our metabolism to expulse LDL from our body.

Statins

These medications work by producing a blockage of a substance that the body needs to form cholesterol. Statins also help the reabsorption of cholesterol from the plaques of the walls of the arteries thus preventing a possible myocardial infarction.
