Brief Answer:
Needs dose escalation of Metformin.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I can understand your concern.

Your father may need dose escalation of Metformin from 250 to Metformin 500.Since his triglyceride level is also increased,I asdvise him to go for Rosuvastatin F instead of Atorvas 10.

So please discuss with your doctor whether he shares my opinion and prescribes the same.

Note:These drugs should be taken under strict medical supervision of your doctor.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
