Q. How to reduce triglyceride levels after stent placement?
Hello doctor,
How to reduce triglyceride levels, which is 262 mg/dL as on today. I have a stent placed three years ago.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As you had a stent, you must be on medicines like Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin, which also helps in lowering triglyceride levels. In spite of these medications, if your triglycerides are elevated, you will need to add one more medicine like tablet Fenofibrate 145 mg, once a day, at bedtime for six weeks and repeat triglycerides test after that. I suggest the following lifestyle changes. Avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Do exercises like brisk walking or jogging according your capacity, atleast 30 minutes a day for five days a week. Include lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, and fish once or twice a week. Avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol drinking habits, if any. Hope this helps you. Get back if you have any doubts.
