fenofibrate 160mg once a day @bedtime...jogging 1 or 2x a week...and i keep on walking because my job is usually on walking and climb stairs as often as possible. thanks doctor
Brief Answer:
You need to exercise more.
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for the follow up .
The dose of medicine is fine .
But your exercise level is not adequate . Don't consider your walking and climbing stairs during work as exercise.
My advise to you is to do Jogging everyday ( maximum you can skip a day in week but preferably daily you do exercise) and with time , that is every 2 weeks you need to increase the Intensity or the duration of exercise .
Along with this you need to follow strict low Cholesterol diet . I will tell you what diet has to be followed but for a better result kindly consult a dietician and follow the diet strictly.
Diet : Avoid Sweets , Carbonated beverages , Non Veg food , Junk Food , Cheese , Butter and Ghee. Eat more of fruits, vegetables and drink plenty of water .
Continue taking Fenofibrate and repeat the test after 3 months . You will definitely notice the chance.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
Regards.
