View allI'm currently taking Clopitab and was recently prescribed Amlodipine or Cilnidipine. I've heard that mixing certain medications can sometimes affect how well they work. So, I'm worried if it's okay to take these together? Like, would it make Clopitab less effective? Should I be concerned about this interaction?
Yes, there is a potential interaction between clopitab and amlodipinecilnidipine. Amlodipinecilnidipine may increase the effects of clopitab, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. It is important to monitor for signs of bleeding such as easy bruising or unusual bleeding. It is advisable to use these medications together with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

I'm really concerned about my triglyceride levels, which are over 700 mgdL. Could you advise me on what foods I should be eating or avoiding? Also, do you know what kind of medication I should consider?
For high triglyceride levels, it is important to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle. You should focus on consuming foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts, can help lower triglyceride levels. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid or limit intake of sugary foods and beverages, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, and saturated fats (found in red meat, butter, cheese). It is also important to maintain a healthy weight and engage in regular physical activity. As for medication, your doctor may prescribe statins such as Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin to help lower your triglyceride levels. They may also consider prescribing fibrates such as Fenofibrate or Omega-3 fatty acid supplements to help manage your triglycerides. It is important to follow your doctor's advice closely and make the necessary lifestyle changes to improve your triglyceride levels.

I'm curious about my health situation. I've been on Amcard for the past 10 years, but this year my blood pressure isn't controlled. I recently did a lipid profile, and while my cholesterol level went down from 210 to 165, my triglycerides have gone up from 135 to 195. I also drink about 200 ml of alcohol every day and have been doing so for the last 30 years. Could this be affecting my test results, and should I be concerned or make some changes?
Alcohol intake can significantly impact triglyceride levels. I recommend reducing your alcohol consumption to help lower your triglyceride levels. In addition, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a medication like Atorvastatin to help lower your triglyceride levels. The usual dosage for Atorvastatin is 10-80 mg per day, depending on your specific needs. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are essential to manage your blood pressure and lipid levels effectively.
