Dear Sir
Welcome to HCmagic.
1. If your triglyceride levels have reduced to half by life style modifications only i do not understand why fenofibrate has been prescribed (Why fenofibrate has been added to statin (rozavel))? if the Tg levels are still more than 500 mg%?
2. In cardiac disorders there is no proven role of cholecalciferol (torflash). It should be prescribed in proven vitamin deficiency only.
Please discuss with your physician in light of above facts.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder singh
