10 Causes of High Cholesterol

Medication

Some drugs have an effect on the levels of HDL and LDL that are produced in the body. Drugs like protection, corticosteroids, and inability steroids increase the production of LDL and decrease the production of HDL. Other medications for conditions like cancer, acne, HIV/AIDS, and high blood pressure can also affect the production of HDL and LDL. It is always important to consult with your doctor about relevant side effects for the drugs you are taking. If you are genetically predisposed to having high cholesterol buildup, you should let your doctor know beforehand.
