A member asked:

My triglyceride level is 298, hdl is 36.05 & vldl is 59.63.. my total cholestrol is 183 & ldl is 87. kindly suggest the medicine to control the above ?

No drug: Your numbers are acceptable and don't require drug treatment. Avoidance of alcohol, animal fats, daily exercise, and control of blood sugar will correct your TG. A vitamin: Niacin, would also lower your TG (1, 000 to 2, 000 mg daily).

A member asked:

Have cholesterol levels tested. Total: 4.6 mmol/L HDL:1.3 LDL:2.9 Tryglycerides: 1.0 If I used formula should total value be LDL+HDL+ 20% Triglycerides = 4.4 (not 4,6?) Could this be due to difference between measuring and calculating or otherwise?
