Question 1

I'm a bit concerned because my triglycerides are higher than they should be, but I don't have any symptoms. What could be causing this and what can I do to improve my levels?

Accepted Answer

Ezetimibe (brand name Zetia) can be helpful in lowering triglyceride levels. You can take Ezetimibe 10 mg once daily to help reduce your triglyceride levels.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my father. He's had high blood pressure for about 20 days now. He's already a BP patient, but lately, his pressure is shooting up to around 16090. He was on promolate xl 25 before and now he's been switched to telvas 40 by th...

Accepted Answer

It seems like your father's blood pressure is not well controlled with Telvas 40. In this case, the doctor may consider adding or adjusting the dosage of another medication. One common combination for high blood pressure is Telvas 40 (Telmisartan 40mg) along with Amlodipine (usually 5mg to 10mg). Amlodipine helps to further lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. However, the final decision on the medication and dosage should be made by your father's treating physician after a thorough evaluation. It is important to continue monitoring his blood pressure regularly and follow up with his doctor for further management.

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance on managing your blood pressure.
