When they are combined, what do HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and cholesterol absorption inhibitors target? Check all that apply.

HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) reduce cholesterol made by the liver, so they target cholesterol produced by the liver. Cholesterol absorption inhibitors reduce cholesterol absorbed from the digestive tract, including cholesterol taken in through food. Together, they target both sources—not cholesterol produced in the heart or expelled through waste.
