How Can Elevated Triglyceride Levels Be Treated?
my triglyceride level was at 364 two months ago. I have been taking fenofibrate since. My levels have been rechecked and are down to 195. I have changed my diet and have been exercising. I have been avoiding alcohol altogether. I would really like to have a drink or two with my wife. At what point is it safe to indulge just a little?

Hello,
As you already taking fenofibrate and triglyceride level went down, it's good. You can also take tablet atorvastatin if fenofibrate not tolerating, after consultation. Eat fat-free diet. Eat fiber more. Exercise daily. Walk a minimum of 30 mins daily. Do regular check-up of lipid profile. I will suggest you review here with detailed history or consult with a physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
