I'm dealing with a bit of high cholesterol, and my doctor recommended taking Roseday 5 mg daily. But right now, I'm in Malaysia and can't seem to find Roseday here. Do you think it's okay for me to take Crestor 5 mg instead until I can get my hands on Roseday? Would that be safe?

I had open heart surgery about 11 years ago because there was a hole in my heart. Is it safe for me to start going to the gym and lifting heavy weights now? Would love your advice.

I'm really concerned about this persistent pain in my left arm that's been going on for around two months. I've had an ECG, ECHO, and TMT, and the doctor said everything looks good, but its still there. I found out my triglyceride cholesterol levels are a bit high, around 300. I've been on Rosufit10 for about the same time, but I'm not sure how long I need to keep taking it. I tried taking Gabapin Plus 100 for the muscle pain, did it for a month, but that didnt seem to help much. Now I'm considering going for a CT angio to get a clearer picture. Are there any side effects or risks I should know about?

For your high triglyceride levels, continue taking Rosufit10 as prescribed by your doctor. Typically, statin medications like Rosufit10 are taken long-term to manage cholesterol levels effectively. - Since Gabapin Plus 100 did not help with your muscle pain, you may discuss alternative medications with your doctor. They may consider prescribing a different muscle relaxant or pain reliever based on your specific symptoms. - CT angiography is generally a safe procedure, but like any medical test, it carries some risks. These risks include exposure to radiation, potential allergic reactions to contrast dye, and a small risk of kidney damage in individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions. It's important to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.

I'm trying to figure out whether Amlovas AT or LupidipA would be a better option for my dad. He's been on Amlovas AT for the past 5-6 years. Could you shed some light on which might be more suitable for him? I'm just a bit concerned and want to make sure he's on the right medication.

both the medications have equal side-effects , physician opinion.
