Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Ways to reduce your triglycerides are lifestyle modifications along with medicines like statins and fibrates.
I would advise you the following...
Do regular aerobic exercises
Shed your weight.
Avoid saturated fats,junk foods and colas
Consume more of fresh fruits,green vegetables,nuts and fibre
You can take NOVASTAT 10 mg every day after consulting doctor
Get tested again after 6 weeks and see the response.
In case values are still high,you can consult your doctor and discuss with him about adding FIBRATES with NOVASTAT.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.

Take care

Brief Answer:
Meet General physician

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for sending reports.
I had gone through the reports.

according to your reports you have high GGPT,High total cholesterol, high Triglycerides.

for high cholestrol and triglycerides you should start with statin tablets, which i have mentioned earlier.

The GGT test is currently the most sensitive enzymatic indicator of liver damage and disease. This damage is often caused by heavy use of alcohol or other toxic substances, like drugs or poisons.

Some of the conditions that result in increased GGT include:
overuse of alcohol
chronic viral hepatitis
lack of blood flow to the liver
liver tumor
cirrhosis, or scarred liver
overuse of certain drugs or other toxins
heart failure
diabetes
pancreatitis.

you may require life style modifications with regular exercises, reducing body weight, avoiding fatty foods.If you are having alcohol , you have to stop immediately.

So you have to meet your local doctor for further evaluation.

If you have any doubts you are welcome , otherwise kindly close the thread and rate it.

Take care
regards

Report Attached ie(XXXXX.pdf) is last years report and the details updated is for this year. I have asked customer care to attach this year report.
As you can see that
LDL has reduced from 150 to 103
HDL has increased from 44 to 46.6
GGTP has reduced from 218 to 142
Triglycerides has increased from 197 to 233

From Last year I have changed my diet and started walking(though not regularly). In this report where the Bad Cholestrol(LDL) has significantly reduced, Good Cholestrol(HDL) has improved a bit. But Triglycerides are bad.
Is there anything I can do so that I can avoid taking medicines.

Brief Answer:
good improvement

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I can understand your concern.
There is good significant improvement in HDL level and marked decreased in LDL and cholesterol levels.
Now you have to reduce Triglycerides level.This can be done by life style modification as well as by taking statin tablets.
So continue the tablets until your triglycerides come to control.later you cam maintain it by modifying your life style like
Lose weight
Cut the sugar
Stock up on fiber
Limit fructose
Eat a moderately low-fat diet.
Watch the type of fat you eat.
Add omega-3 fatty acids.
Exercise
But you have to take tablets until your triglycerides to come under control.Later you can meet dietitian for the same.

take care
