How Safe And Effective Is Finate-160 For Triglyceride?

Hallo Doctor - As per my Doctor's advice I am taking medicine Finate-160 for the last 2 years but still my triglyceride level is 350, Cholesterol level 220. I am doing moderate exercise, maintaining good food habit. My height is 5' 11" and my weight is 75 kg. My Doctor said that my body system is responsible for this high triglyceride. My question is
1. Why my triglyceride level is not coming to normal even after taking Finate-160 ?
2. Should the medicine be changed ?
3. What more I have to do so that my triglyceride level comes down to normal level
4. What are the worrying factors if it remains in this level

personal and family history of heart disease, as well as whether you have cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking. Regular physical activity can raise HDL "good" cholesterol by up to 10%. The benefits come even with moderate exercise, such as brisk walking (45-minute walk after supper). Avoid saturated fat, Eat more fibre (Fruits and vegetables, including whole grains, are good sources not only of heart-healthy antioxidants but also cholesterol-lowering dietary fiber.) Fish and fish oil are chockablock with cholesterol-lowering omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil supplements can have a profound effect on cholesterol and triglycerides. Drink green tea which helps to reduce LDL cholesterol. Quit smoking. I suggest you to consult your treating doctor to change the medications. High cholesterol is bad for heart. All the best
