Get a year’s supply of statin cholesterol meds delivered to your door after an online consult and a simple lab test.

Who we help

We can help if you want to understand your cholesterol levels or if you need treatment.

Even if you don’t have high cholesterol, you can use GoMDUSA to order labs to measure how your cholesterol levels change over time. Our medical team can help interpret your results.

We can also help if you need treatment. If you’ve had lab work through GoMDUSA then we can write three-month prescriptions for a type of medicine called statins on an ongoing basis. If you’ve never had blood work through GoMDUSA then a single one-month refill of your existing statin is the most we can prescribe until you’re able to go to the lab to get your lab work done.

Who we can't help

Anyone can use GoMDUSA to get tested for high cholesterol, but we can’t prescribe treatment if the following apply.

Under 18
75 or older
Kidney disease
Liver problems
Allergy to statins
Want a different type of cholesterol treatment other than statins
Pregnant or trying to get pregnant

For us to give you a prescription for a statin you need to know your blood pressure. The good news is there are thousands of pharmacies that have machines that measure blood pressure accurately for free. Find your nearest Higi machine or Pursuant Health machine. Most Walmart, Sams Club, Safeway and Rite Aid have a machine.

Treatment and Risks

It’s important to understand the treatment we recommend and the potential risks involved.

Managing Your Overall Health

Managing your cholesterol with statins is only one part of looking after your heart and overall wellness. It’s really important to understand that unlike a traditional doctor’s office we don’t provide the full range of care you need. GoMDUSA provides one small piece of the care you need. It’s important to complement GoMDUSA with visiting a traditional doctor’s office when you need to.

If you use GoMDUSA to help manage your high cholesterol, we’ll give you guidance on other aspects of your health that you need to manage.

We Only Prescribe Statins

Just like a doctor’s office, we only prescribe statins when it’s safe and appropriate to do so based on widely-recognized national guidelines. We don’t currently prescribe other classes of medicines that can also lower your cholesterol. You’ll need to see a doctor or nurse practitioner in person if you want treatment with one of these alternative medicines.

Risks of Taking Statins

Statins are generally safe but can cause rare and serious side effects including but not limited to profound muscle pain and weakness, severe allergic reaction, kidney failure, disability, and death. These risks can be increased if you take other prescription medicines, so be sure to tell us all the other medicines you’re taking.

Before taking any medicine we prescribe, always read the treatment plan we send you and the package insert that comes with your medicine for a full list of side effects and warnings.
