Sir,
You can follow this article - Article Beyond Statins: Emerging Evidence for HDL-Increasing Therapi...
HDL levels are sometimes improved by drugs used to lower LDL and triglyceride levels — such as prescription niacin; fibrates such as gemfibrozil (Lopid); and certain statins, particularly simvastatin (Zocor) and rosuvastatin (Crestor).
But clinical trials for several drugs specifically designed to increase HDL levels were halted early because they didn't reduce the risk of heart attacks.
Drugs containing testosterone and other anabolic steroids can lower your HDL cholesterol levels. Avoiding these drugs may help increase your HDL numbers.

Statin medications slow the liver’s production of cholesterol and can help remove cholesterol circulating in the blood.
Selective cholesterol absorption inhibitors (like ezetimibe) prevent the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine.
Resins (bile acid sequestrants) bind to bile, a digestive acid, which causes the liver to produce more bile and thus use up more cholesterol.
Fibrates lower triglycerides (rather than LDL levels).
Niacin (nicotinic acid) is a B vitamin that affects the production of fats in the liver.
Omega-3 fatty acid medications derived from fish oils also work to lower high triglyceride levels.

HDL level can be raised by regular exercise, intake of wine prepared from fruits, and by a drug rosuvastatin.
