Suggest Dosage Of Omlezest And Fibator Inspite Of Having Normal Triglyceride Levels And BP

I have been taking omlezest 20 and nebi 2.5 for last 2 years as my blood pressure was high. Post taking these medicines the BP is normal . I am also taking Fibator 10 mg for Trigylgerides for last 3 years when my triglycerides were above 450. Since taking Fibator my trigyclerides are in normal range for last 2 years. Also taking 37.5mg Thyronorm for thyroid. Please advise in case I can reduce the dose of Fibator or change the medication for BP and Trigyclerides. My cholestrol levels are within normal.

Hello, Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. i had gone through all the data you have posted. as you told your blood pressure is under good control you need to continue both medications for blood pressure.
kindly continue lifestyle modifications like avoid pickels, low salt, diet rich in fruits and vegetables, regular physical activity along with BP meds.
coming to cholesterol, as you said for triglycerides when they are very high we use medication to decrease to normla levels and then you can stop medication for triglycerides but you need to continue for LDL.
it would have been helpful for us to decide if you have posted the full lipid profile report.
FIBATOR 10 what you were using might be a combination of atorvastatin + fenofibrate of which fenofibrate can be stopped and atorvastatin should be continued 1 tab daily night.
common reason for elevated triglycerides are eating oily foods, alcohol, diabetes and hypothyroidism.
so thryoid treatment can be continued, decrease the oil food content, quit alcohol so that TG levels may not rise after stopping tablet. continue regular physcial activity.
hope this helps...
