Webb’s Family Pharmacy can now conduct lipid testing with just a single drop of blood from a fingerstick. Tests available now include: Total Cholesterol, HDL, Triglycerides, calculated LDL, VLDL and Glucose! The testing is as accurate as tests done in your physician’s office and
the results are ready in only five minutes. We offer different levels of testing, from cholesterol to the entire lipid profile. We can also calculate your heart disease risk. To ensure that your medication is working for you, it is best to test cholesterol levels every three to six months and more frequently if your medication or diet is changed.
Controlling blood cholesterol and heart disease risk involves more than just taking a pill every day. It may require you to change your lifestyle and may even affect the entire family. Some patients have to change the foods that they eat, lose weight, start exercising, and stop smoking. These are all very
difficult things to accomplish and take months or years to achieve. The pharmacists at Webb’s Family Pharmacy are ready to help you understand the effect that each of these changes will have on your health, and assist you in your efforts to improve your lifestyle. Return to top
