I'm 42 and my LDL cholesterol level is 162, with HDL at 43. I'm really hoping to get my LDL down from 162 to 109. Can you suggest any ways to do this? I'm looking for some advice on how to manage my cholesterol better.

Question

I'm a bit worried about my mom's injection. She just had CABG surgery, and the doctor prescribed Tazact 4.5 gm. We assumed it would be your regular kind of injection, but it turned out to be powder. We also got a saline bottle with sodium chloride injection IP 0.9 WV and a syringe. How do clinics prepare this injection with these items? I want to make sure we're doing it right for my mom.
