Suggest Medications To Control Triglyceride Level

Hi, I am 62-years-old, 5 2 1/2 , 145 lbs. Over the last year, I have gained 10 pounds. My triglyceride level is 194. I do not smoke or drink alcohol. I am not currently exercising due to a busy schedule. I have been trying Dr. Adkins diet (low carbs and high fats). Any suggestions on ways to decrease level?
