Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have been diagnosed of mild cad in angigraphy. presently i am taking metpure am 5 in the morning & echosprine 75&rousvas 10 in the evening.but at times miss my evening dose. my latest lipid profile shows readings of ldl 74, hdl 30 ratio 5:1.please advise should i continue the medicine or may stop.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows: 1. Your readings are better. Still HDL needs to improve above 40 2. You should not stop any medication without consulting your doctor. Ecosprin, if discontinued can cause rebound thrombosis. 3. Continue with the medications, as they are all working well. Maintain additionally a nutritional diet and moderate amount of exercise.
Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
