Brief Answer:
Lifestyle modification is more important.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.

Atocor (atorvastatin) 10 mg once daily can be used to control high high cholesterol levels which is usually associated with high triglyceride levels. High triglyceride levels usually result from increased dietary intake and in order to bring down the triglyceride levels you need to cut down on the food you take.

It has to be backed up with regular morning walk and exercise.

Any other tablet is not likely to help unless proper lifestyle modification is done. If you still have any further queries, please upload the latest lipid profile report.
