Need more infromation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Loss of appetite could be the side effect of this roseday tablet (rosuvastatin) but tongue white might not be.

I must inspect the tongue before coming to any conclusion so,it would be helpful if you could send me the picture of the white tongue.

One more thing,your triglyceride is 365 and you have been given roseday,but let me clear you that fibrates drugs (fenofibrate 200 mg or gemfibrozil 600 mg) are more appropriate medicines to reduce serum triglycerides as compared to statins (rosuvastatin) which are more reliable to lower serum total cholesterol.

Kindly get back to me with image as I suggested.

Hi,
Thanks for the follow-up.

It is good that you have been started fenofibrate in combination with rosuvastatin.

You should continue taking it.

If you have any more clarification then you can ask me otherwise kindly close the discussion and yes do not forget to give feed back.
