Patient's question:
A patient with post-stroke sequelae has been taking pitavastatin medication. The triglyceride level of 2.6 has not decreased. Can they take fenofibrate? That is, taking fenofibrate in the morning and pitavastatin in the evening. How should the treatment be managed?Doctor's answer:
The patient's condition is high blood lipids, and the oral medication is not effective. It is recommended to check the liver function and see how well the dietary restrictions are working. If the liver condition is good and the dietary restrictions are effective, it is suggested to take Rosuvastatin tablets orally to lower blood lipids and treat the condition. In fact, having a stroke is not terrible. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
