Cholesterol medication isn’t right for everyone. A clinician will review your health information to understand whether treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
You may be ineligible for cholesterol medication through GenMeds if certain medical, safety, or program criteria apply.
These may include:
Your LDL-C is already below the treatment threshold
You’re pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding
You’ve had a serious allergic reaction to certain cholesterol medications or their ingredients
You have certain severe liver or kidney conditions
You have certain types of familial hypercholesterolemia that need specialist care
You have certain recent, untreated, or higher-risk heart conditions
You take certain medications that may make some cholesterol treatments unsafe
You don’t meet program requirements, such as age range or other platform eligibility rules
This isn’t a complete list. The clinician will review your intake form, blood markers, health history, medications, allergies, and cholesterol information to decide whether treatment is appropriate.
