Talk to Cardiologist on Cholesterol
Asking for Self, Male, 42 years old, Essa Khel
"Hi Doctor, I am seeking some advice regarding my cholesterol medication. I recently visited for a check-up, and it was suggested that I add another 20mg dose to my current regimen. My cholesterol levels have been consistently around 230-240 mg/dL for the past 6-12 months. My triglycerides also fluctuate between high and normal levels. Currently, I am being managed with medication alone without any specific dietary intervention. Given the suggestion to increase the dosage, I would like to know how best to take these two 20mg pills. Should I take them both together, or is there a specific schedule I should follow to ensure the treatment is both safe and effective? I look forward to your guidance."one report is fresh and one report is 1 year old 8.4mmol/L
