Thanks for asking to Healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.If I was your physician,would suggest initially dietary modifications like limit high carbohydrates,fats and daily mild physical activity. According to me,medications(Fibrate class drugs like gemfibrozil,orlistat) are not needed at present which can be tried,when triglyceride levels are very high.I also would advise to monitor the lipid profile and get opinion with your treating doctor.Hope I have answered your query.If any further questions,happy to answer you
