This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My triglyceride level is 423. Do I need a medicine to bring it down? If yes, then which one?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. A triglyceride level of 423 is considerably elevated, necessitating a comprehensive approach involving dietary adjustments, regular exercise, and potentially medical intervention. It's important to consider screenings for concurrent conditions like diabetes and hypertension, which often accompany hypertriglyceridemia. I recommend consulting a physician before initiating any treatment. They might suggest a combined medication such as Atorvastatin 10 mg and Fenofibrate 160 mg, to be taken once daily at night after dinner. Monitoring these medications closely is essential due to their significant potential side effects. Your health is of paramount importance, and appropriate steps can be taken under medical guidance.
