A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need different med: Triglycerides are not significantly lowered with statin medications like rosuvastatin. Fish oil 2 gm twice daily and Niacin are better for lowering the triglycerides in addition to dietary changes and exercise. Stay away from saturated fats like butter, eat more olive oil/canola oil. Stay away from fried food and consider getting tested for diabetes and hypothyroidism which can raise levels also.
