Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I would like to have some more information regarding your blood lipid profile.

You should know that fenocar and lipisafe are two different types of drugs and are used for different purposes. The first is used to lower triglycerides, and the seconds acts mainly by lowering cholesterol levels.

Both these drugs have similar adverse effects.

I would like to read your blood lipid profile, before recommending any other drugs.

From the other hand, LDL cholesterol levels are not a confident indicator of your cardiovascular risk. Total cholesterol/HDL ratio or LDL/HDL ratio are better indicators of your cardiovascular risk.

Anyway, here are some nonpharmacological ways to lower LDL levels:

- a diet rich in omega 3 food (fish, olive oil, fish oil, walnuts, etc.)
- a lot of physical activity (gym, yoga, jogging, swimming, etc.)
- stop smoking
- try to reduce your weight if you are overweight.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
