Accepted Answer

Your vitamin D 25 hydroxy levels are lower than the normal range, and your lipid profile, specifically cholesterol and triglycerides, are elevated. To address these issues, you can take the following steps: 1. For Vitamin D deficiency (25 hydroxy level of 32): - You can take Vitamin D supplements such as "Calcirol" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, followed by maintenance therapy of "Uprise D3" 60,000 IU once a month. - Spend more time in sunlight as it helps in natural synthesis of Vitamin D. 2. For high lipid profile: - To lower cholesterol, you can take statin medications such as "Atorvastatin" 20mg once daily. - To lower triglycerides, you can take medications like "Fenofibrate" 160mg once daily. - Additionally, focus on a healthy diet low in saturated fats, cholesterol, and simple sugars. - Regular exercise and weight management can also help improve lipid levels. It is advisable to follow up with a physician for further evaluation and monitoring of your lipid profile and vitamin D levels.
