High cholesterol is a major cause of disease burden in both the developed and developing countries. Dyslipidaemia has been well established as a cardiovascular disease risk factor. And it may lead to stroke and heart attack.
Blood cholesterol levels are most accurately assessed with a fasting lipoprotein profile—a blood test done after a 9- to 12-hour period without food, beverages, or medications.
Total cholesterol test is available at all Multicare Pharmacy branches; Full Lipid Profile test (including LDL, HDL, Trihlycerides) is available at selected outlets.
Besides, our pharmacists play a vital role in this process by educating patients and helping them make informed decisions regarding the use of the various available supplements and medications.
