Hi there...
I will try to help you out regarding your concern.
As far as drug choice is concerned for the treatment of raised Triglyceride levels Lipicard that contains Fenofibrate is best because this drug is a type of fibrate, which increases the levels in the blood of a natural enzyme that helps to break down the fats in the blood.So you should continue it.
Regards and have a nice time.
