Should I continue taking Glyree and Telista AM 40/5? Do I need additional medication for cholesterol?
Asked by Male, 54 · 2 months ago
If your sugar levels and blood pressure are well controlled with Glyree and Telista AM 40/5, you can usually continue them as advised by your doctor. For cholesterol, you only need additional medication (like a statin) if your LDL cholesterol is high, you have diabetes, or you are at higher heart risk. The best step is to check your latest lipid profile. If LDL is above target, your doctor may add a cholesterol-lowering medicine. If reports are normal, lifestyle changes alone may be enough.
