Question 5

I'm a 37-year-old guy and I've just got my lipid test results back. I'm a bit concerned about some of the numbers, like the LDL at 120 mgdl, triglycerides at 231 mgdl, and VLDL at 46.2 mgdl. My triglycerides to HDL ratio is also 7.4. Could you please...

Accepted Answer

Based on your lipid test results, your triglyceride levels are elevated. To help lower your triglycerides, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as following a healthy diet low in sugars and refined carbohydrates, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In addition, medication may also be necessary to help lower your triglyceride levels. I recommend starting with a prescription of Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a dosage of 145mg once daily. This medication can help lower triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol levels. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your lipid levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Question 6

I'm wondering if Preva and Ecosprin AV are actually the same thing or if they're different medications. I'm also a bit concerned about the side effects. Does one have more side effects than the other? Could you help me understand this better?

Accepted Answer

Both Preva and Ecosprin AV are different medications with different active ingredients and mechanisms of action. Preva contains the active ingredient Clopidogrel, while Ecosprin AV contains a combination of Aspirin and Atorvastatin. In terms of side effects, both medications can cause side effects, but the specific side effects and their likelihood can vary from person to person. Common side effects of Clopidogrel (Preva) include bleeding, bruising, and stomach upset. On the other hand, common side effects of Aspirin and Atorvastatin (Ecosprin AV) include stomach upset, muscle pain, and liver enzyme abnormalities. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine which medication is more suitable for you based on your individual medical history and risk factors.
