Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

If allergy precludes the use of statins then you may have tab Ezetimibe or fenofibrate as an alternative to statins. So, discuss these options with a local doctor.

Rest should have a healthy diet along with exercise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Sagar Makode, Cardiologist
