A member asked:

Total cholesterol normal 210, triglycerides 342 does it indicate high sugar intak on atorva 20 should dose be increased to 40mg or changed to rosuva?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neither: increasing your atorvastatin or changing to rosuvastatin won't have any effect on your triglycerides. Changing your diet will. See a nutritionist. Don't take Meds for it at that level.
