Both rosuvastatin and fenofibrate in Lipirose-F 5 can occasionally affect blood glucose levels. Since your lipid levels are stable, your doctor might consider transitioning you to a different class of medication, such as ezetimibe, which lowers cholesterol without impacting blood sugar. Alternatively, switching to a different statin like pravastatin, which has a lower risk of raising blood sugar, could be an option. Please discuss these alternatives with your doctor before making any changes so they can safely tailor your treatment plan.

With a good cholesterol (HDL) level of 38 mg/dL and a bad cholesterol (LDL) level of 93 mg/dL, should I continue taking my prescribed Lipirose Gold 20 and Pantacid 40?

This excellent result is likely because your Lipirose Gold 20 (containing rosuvastatin, aspirin, and clopidogrel) is working effectively. Please do not stop taking Lipirose Gold 20 or Pantacid 40 (pantoprazole) without consulting your physician. Stopping them suddenly could cause your cholesterol to rise again and increase your cardiovascular risk. Pantacid 40 is also essential to protect your stomach while taking these heart medications. Please share these encouraging results with your doctor to see if any dosage adjustments are needed.

Why are my AST, ALT, and GGT levels abnormal despite normal tests, considering I have diabetes and take Ozomet M2 and Lipirose-F 10?

Mildly abnormal AST, ALT, or GGT levels are common in people with diabetes, often due to fatty liver. Medicines like Lipirose-F (statin) can also slightly raise liver enzymes in some people. Even if other tests are normal, these enzymes can fluctuate. Avoid alcohol, control blood sugar, maintain a healthy diet and weight, and repeat the test after some time. If levels stay high, talk to your doctor.
