Both are same formulations. There are 2 medicines in this prescription. Atorvastatin is required after blockages, and for those with cholesterol above 300. F is fenofibrate, a medicine required if fasting triglycerides are above one thousand. What are your lipid values?

It is required if he already suffered heart attack, or blockages like stroke, otherwise better to stop.

I am sure you are aware that diabetes is a condition that remains for life time. If your sugar levels are under control it is only because of medication plus diet control, exercise and weight control. I am not aware whether you are observing all the above. But these are an essential part of the treatment. The moment you stop the drugs and and all the above the disease will go out of control. Hence the treatment is life long.

Don't discontinue, go on with same medicine, with the same dose & try to change your diet, take fat free, salt restricted, high fiber diet, check your lipid profile every month, when your cholesterol & triglyceride will come down, then reduce the dose in consultation with a cardiologist. Last but not the least, regular exercise is essential.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
No drug is recommended when TSh is below 10 mU/L. Similarly when TGL levels are below 500 mg, no treatment is required. Only proper exercise and diet control is enough. Thanks.

If you are already under atorvastatin you can have it in the previous evening before lipid profile to ascertain whether it is under control with atorvastatin or not
