A member asked:
My doctor prescribed me 40mg simvastatin and fish oil/omega 3 4x's a day to help lower my triglyl. levels. does this seem efficient since i'm only 18?

Seems ok: What medication your doctor recommends depends on a combination of factors he/she assesses. That is a commonly used and safe combination. One of the most potent ways to reduce triglycerides is diet, exercise and weight loss.
