My triglyceride level is 200, and I have been taking Fenocor 35 for the past 2 years, while my other reports are normal. Is it safe to continue taking this medicine for a long time?

Triglyceride levels around 200 are considered mildly high, and long-term control is important to reduce future risks like heart disease or fatty liver. Even if your other reports are normal, this level still needs monitoring and management through both lifestyle and, if needed, medicines. Since you have been on treatment for a long time, it is reasonable to review whether it is still required. Fenocor 35 is commonly used to lower triglyceride levels and is generally considered safe for long-term use when taken under a doctor?s supervision. However, regular follow-up is important, as your doctor may check liver function and lipid levels to ensure the medicine remains suitable and is not causing any side effects. You can also support better control through lifestyle changes. Focus on reducing oily and sugary foods, limiting alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and engaging in regular physical activity, such as walking. Including more fruits, vegetables, and omega-3-rich foods can help improve your levels naturally. It would be a good idea to review your reports with your doctor to see whether you still need the same dose or if any adjustment is needed.
