Hello Mr Parekh
Thanks for writing to us.
Before someone can really interpret your lipid profile, one would like to know 1. If you have diabetes 2. High blood pressure 3. Are you a smoker? 4. If you have a blood relation who has had heart attack or anginal heart disease? And, if yes, then at what age it started? 5. If you have /had stroke (paralysis), kidney disease, carotid blockage, anginal heart disease, claudication of limbs (pain in legs on walking). All these have a bearing on the target cholesterol level and management.
Still on the face of it, i would not recommend a combination for you. i would like you to take only rosuvastatin and not finofibrate (but only after discussing with your doctor). A triglyceride of 192 should not be managed with fibrates. As i have mentioned in many previous queries too, a triglyceride specific drug should not be given below levels of 500 mg% in most circumstances.
