Patient's question:
My mom is 67 years old. A few days ago, during a health check-up, she was found to have high blood lipids. But my mom said she doesn't feel any discomfort, and she looks very energetic. However, as her children, we should always care more for our parents. So, I'd like to ask what medications are effective for high blood lipids and what precautions should be taken in daily life?Doctor's answer:
With the decline in living standards, the number of patients with high blood lipids is gradually increasing. It is important to follow a low-fat diet, avoid high-calorie foods, and strive to maintain a standard weight range. Avoid fried foods such as youtiao, fried cakes, and squid. Consume foods rich in protein and vitamins regularly. You can take atorvastatin calcium orally once a day, with a dosage of 20 mg per time. Regular liver function and blood lipid tests should be conducted as needed.
