This right here. There should be another option besides "take this pill every day from now own". I dont believe x number is high for everyone. Unless your health is in immediate danger, i would try adjusting diet for a month or two. It might be that you cant fix it on your own. Then you do your homework and YOU decide which medicine you want to take.
