Your triglyceride level is elevated and HDL is low, indicating moderate cardiovascular risk. Lifestyle changes like low fat diet, exercise are key. A repeat lipid profile and liver function test in 3 months is advisable.

I have been taking Atorvastatin 20 and 10 for the past three months. After reviewing my recent report, I have now started taking Rosuvastatin F 5. Could you please review my report.
