I've been dealing with diabetes for the past 10 years and I've also got high cholesterol. I used to take Tonact TG, which really helped me a lot, but my doctor recently switched me to Ecosprin AV 75. My TMT came back positive, but all my other heart tests, including the CT coronary, were normal. I'm wondering if I can take Tonact TG and Ecosprin 75 separately instead of just using Ecosprin AV 75? I noticed that with Tonact TG, my LDL stays around 70 mgdL and it also boosts my HDL levels more than just taking atorvastatin. Can you help me figure this out?

My mother-in-law has been struggling with high cholesterol and she's had two angiograms already. She's also dealing with thyroid issues, diabetes, and high blood pressure. She's been on medication for the last seven years, which has kept everything normal. But last week, her triglyceride levels shot up to 470, and she started feeling chest pain. The doctor ran some tests and added two new tablets, KORANDIL 10 and METAGARD 35, for 15 days. But after taking them, she's been having severe headaches, so she stopped taking the pills. Is there a possibility of changing these tablets with the help of the doctor?

Before changing anything , we will need to check your angiography report , your ECG , and echocardiography reports.. With out that. Changing or stoping medications can be dangerous Also will need the complete list of medications korandil can cause headache but it dialates the small blood vessels in the heart and if you have a significant blockage then you need it or some similar kind of meds..so need all the above mentioned information before any advice
