Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hicrestor is a anti hypertensive medication ,which is meant to keep blood pressure of your husband in control. However lipanathyl is a fenofibrinate, which reduces the level of harmful trigklycerides in your blood, one is meant for hypertension, the other one is meant for dyslipidemia. Yes cholesterol and triglycerides can be controlled very well with medications and life style modification.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rishu Saxena
