A member asked:

What would be more effective for high triglycerides 342mg/dl and ldl 69. atorvas20mg or combination atorva 10mg+fenofibrate 160mg. total choles 210?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely combo: probably the two in combination. I'd try monotherapy first, ie lipitor (atorvastatin) higher dose. If that doesn't grt you to target then goto combo
