Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Doc, how to reduce triglicerides in our body. My dad has high triglicerides. The medicine prescribed by his doc (Sataraf) for cholostrol and triglicerides. This drug seems to have side effects if used over a long time. Wanted to check what alternate medicine with no side effects can he use.
It will be more helpful if you give details about the reports of the investigations. You can scan a copy of the reports and attach it.
I would like to tell you that every medicine has some or the other side effects. The treating doctor is the best judge to decide the role of benefits over the side effects.
He can be given Fenofibrate at bedtime to reduce the triglyceride levels. Following precautions are also helpful :- 1. Regular daily exercise. 2. Include roughage in diet. 3. Increase lentils in diet. 4. He should be given fresh fruits and vegetables. 5. Almonds also have beneficial effect.
I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.
