Hi,
After going through the reports and medications, I gond that the report is only of lipid profile and all other sugar or electrolytes test are not there.
In view of the limited data available, I suggest you to continue atorlip as your triglycerides is really high.
Shelcal is prescribed in middle age to elderly to increase calcium level in blood and reduce the incidence of fractures.
Cetapin xr is usually prescribed in patients with obesity and diabetes mellitus. Other blood or urine tests are necessary to continue or discontinue cetapin xr.
Remistar is prescribed in hypertension.
I cannot comment you to continue or discontinue the drugs based on limited reports. If your reports are normal, you can discuss with your doctor and discontinue.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
