Sir, good morning. As per my current blood report, my triglycerides have reached 200. I want to reduce them below 160. Please prescribe medicine and suggest a diet. I am exercising regularly. I have to go for a medical test within 10 days, so I need to reduce triglycerides in this period. Except for triglycerides, all other tests are normal. Thank you.

In 10 days, focus on strict low fat diet, no sweets, and daily exercise. Medicines like fenofibrate or rosuvastatin may help short term. Doctor consultation needed.

What is the best time to take a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi. I have recently done my LFT test and found that my cholesterol is high. After seeing this report, I am a little worried and do not know what to do. I am attaching my report. Please suggest what I can do to reduce cholesterol. I live in a mess, so food is not fully under my control, but I am trying to avoid non vegetarian food. Please advise.

My triglyceride was 280 and cholesterol was 254 on 12 January. I started medicine on 22 January. In the meantime, to submit my annual health checkup record to my company, I did all tests and found my triglyceride is 118 and HDL is 32 normal 40 to 60. The rest of my blood test reports are normal, except SGPT 64 and blood urea and blood urea nitrogen on the lower borderline. I want to know if taking only one week of Rozucor 10 mg caused my cholesterol and triglyceride to decrease, or will they increase again after stopping the medicine?
