Question 1

I'm a 30-year-old guy, and my LDL is 110 while my triglycerides are at 264. The doctor put me on this medication, Rozavel F 5, which is a statin and fenofibrate combo. I'm just wondering if it's safe to take both of these together. What should I be aware of?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is generally safe to take a statin like Rozavel F 5 (Rosuvastatin) along with fenofibrate for lowering LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The combination can be effective in managing high cholesterol levels. The usual dosage of Rozavel F 5 is 1 tablet daily. However, it is important to follow your doctor's advice and monitor for any potential side effects.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with heart issues and has stents. But he also has this tobacco chewing habit that I'm trying to help him kick. I've been thinking about getting him to try nicotine gum, but I'm not sure if it's safe ...

Accepted Answer

Nicotine chewing gums can be suitable for your father to help him quit his tobacco chewing habit. Nicotine gums are generally safe for heart patients with stents, but it is important to use them under medical supervision. The most common side effects of nicotine gums include mild irritation of the mouth and throat, hiccups, and jaw ache. However, if used as directed, the risk of serious side effects such as palpitations is low. It is recommended to start with a lower dosage of nicotine gum and gradually reduce the amount over time. I recommend consulting with your father's cardiologist or a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate dosage and usage plan for him.

Accepted Answer

if your CT angiogram from 2 years ago was normal and your lipid profile is high now, it may be necessary to repeat the CT angiogram to assess for any changes in your cardiovascular health. In the meantime, you can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Question 6

I'm currently taking Losanorm 25mg for hypertension. What situations warrant an increase in dosage? Could you please provide guidance on this?

Accepted Answer

The usual starting dose of Losanorm for hypertension is 25mg once daily. The maximum recommended dose is 100mg once daily. High doses of Losanorm may be required for severe cases of hypertension or if lower doses are not effective in controlling blood pressure. However, the specific conditions for high doses of Losanorm should be determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual medical history and response to the medication.
