I've been prescribed Lipicure 10 mg and I'm a bit worried about how long I should be taking it. My LDL cholesterol level is 169 and I'm not sure if that's considered high. Can you give me some guidance on the duration I should continue this medication? I'm feeling a little anxious about managing my cholesterol effectively.
