hi devidas kushnure,
the cholesterol medications have to taken for a long period of time even if your levels appear normal, because it is the thyriod that has caused the problem, regular checkups of the lipid profile need to be done inorder to see if your levels are appearing normal.
then the dose can be reduced as a preventive therapy.
hope to answered your query
thanking you.
