Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

ROZAVEL-F is a combination of Rosuvastatin and Fenofibrate.
Side effects are generally noticed in short term / if you do not have any side effects by now, you may not have them later...

You will have to take them life long.

You need life style modifications -      
Keep your weight to normal / even a little less
Quit smoking, if you are a smoker
Do regular EXERCISE – say walking or jogging - 30 minutes a day / at least 5 days in a week. Isometric exercise (like bull worker) is bad.
Healthy FOOD is a must. Avoid saturated fats – coconut oil, palm oil, butter, ghee, full cream milk...Avoid junk foods in particular – French fries have palm oil / Pizza has cheese / Indian sweets are made in ghee.../ Change to Poly-un-saturated oil – like sun flower oil. / Include Mono-un-saturated oil – Olive oil.
Repeat the test in 6 weeks.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
