I have been taking pravastatin for 2 years and my triglycerides are over 4 times higher than before i started the statin drug. what do i do ? 342

Consult your doc: Please discuss the matter with your doctor who is prescribing pravastatin. In general reducing triglycerides requires weight loss, reduction in the intake of fats and carbohydrates. Fish oil may help too.
