How do I switch to a different cholesterol medication?

If it’s time for your refill

When you complete your refill check-in, you’ll have the opportunity to request a different medication.

The clinician will review your refill check-in, including how treatment has been going, any side effects, your cholesterol information, and your treatment goals.

The clinician will then decide whether switching medication is appropriate at that time.

If you want to switch before your refill is due

If you want to change medication before your next refill, you can reach out to the clinician who prescribed your medication.

To do this:

  • Go to your GenMeds chat

  • Reply to the most recent message from the clinician who prescribed your medication

  • Explain why you would like to switch medication

    • Include any side effects or other issues you are having with treatment

The clinician will review your message and decide the best next step.
