Is Strovas 20mg Safe For High Cholesterol Level?

Hello Doctor, I am a 39 year old, male. I have high cholesterol since last 7-8 years. The total cholesterol is around 250 mg/dl and triglyceride around 350mg/dl. ECG is normal, liver is ok, blood sugar ok and blood pressure - ok. I have not taken any medication for this until. I had consulted a doctor recently and he prescribed STROVAS 20mg. I run own business and usually works at least 15-16 hours a day. I do not exercise regularly and i do not follow any diet control. Please advise, Seju

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi Seju,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Your cholesterol and triglycerides both are high. this needs to be addressed.
As a First step, I would advise you to follow diet control & start aerobic exercise and get rechecked after 3 months. Your diet should contain least amount of animal fats (like cheese, butter, cream) & veg fat as less as possible. Take plenty of dietary fibers, fruits with good amount of protein. Avoid sugary foods.
If dietary changes & exercise do not provide you benefit then you can go for treatment with strovas 20. This medicine is recommended for this purpose & can be safely taken.
Hope this will be helpful.
Thanks for your question. Take care.
