Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Yes, I am afraid you may have to be started on all the above drugs to control the hyperlipidemia you have according to the above mentioned reports.
The drugs you are on do have a narrow side effect profile including minor problems like headache; nausea; stomach pain; weakness.The symptoms you are experiencing are due to initiation of the medications which will subside over time and about reducing the dosage and the drugs depends on how your lab parameters improve over time and also your examination findings after a detailed and regular clinical examination by your treating doctor.
Smoking has to be stopped , I agree there may be some withdrawal effects due to sudden cessation of smoking like feeling dizzy and headache. Nicotine substitutes are best options to get rid of such discomforts.You can start using them.
Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Dear Dr,
I forgot to inform that, I am on a strickt diet from past 15 days. I was walking 45 minutes without any problem in the morning. Now I am unable to walk more than 15 minutes. Getter burning sensation at pennis and feeling urgency of motion, dizziness and tiredness are making me to halt walking.
This was not there when i was on Starfib 150mg. I was conformtably walking and more active.
Since i am also on diet without alcohol, smoking Am I taking a high dosage ?
If So which medicine should be stopped ? Do i really need Ecosprin 150mg as my BP is alwasy normal ?
Please suggest.

Hi,
Thanks for the follow up.
The above symptoms are not considered to be side effects of Tab Starfib.Need not worry, you can continue on them.
Dosage of the drug is not altered based on the consumption of alcohol or smoking hence, you can without fear continue on the same dosage for few days until your next lipid readings are reduced.
Ecosprin 150 is not for BP, it is to prevent Myocardial Infarction which is one of the main complication of high LDL (Low density lipoprotein) levels.Hence , its useful and not risky to consume.
Hope I cleared your doubts.
Wish you good health.
