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.
