Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I think I am diabetic and have attached my reports. I am currently taking medicines namely tablet Rosubest F (10/160 mg) and tablet Thyronorm 125 for triglycerides and hypothyroidism respectively. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From the reports attached (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), you are diabetic and have elevated creatinine level. I suggest you to take (consult with a specialist doctor, talk with him or her and take medicines with their consent) tablet Thyronorm (Thyroxine sodium) 150 mcg since your thyroid stimulating hormone level (TSH) is high. I suggest tablet Glycomet SR (Metformin) 500 mg twice daily after food. You have low cholesterol so stop taking tablet Rosubest F (10/160 mg) (Rosuvastatin and Fenofibrate). Check your fasting blood glucose level after two weeks. Please mention your blood pressure level.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
