1. What are the long term side effects of Statins. I read on multiple sites like Pubmed Citations, WebMD, Drugs.com and other journals that it can cause Muscle Pain (which I am going through now - left shoulder and arm). 2. Does it causes Hair Loss. I am losing hair and at pretty high speed. I am feeling burning scalp and hair loss both. I consulted dermatologists as well as hair specialists but nobody could resolve the issue (or find the cause). 3. I am taking atorlip f (10 mg atorvastatin+160 fenofibrate). It helped reduce my triglycerides to 89 from 399 within a month and total cholesterol from 210 to 164 within one month. My HDL is good and LDL is within range. 4. After the report I moved to 5 Mg atorlip (statin) it again brought back triglycerides to 299 and total cholesterol to 207. HDL fine, LDL high. One more thing I noticed is (Vitamin B12 very low, vitamin D very low, prediabetes - No family history). 5. I am not back on Statin 10 MG Fenofibrate 160 mg (Atorlip F). My Question is - Can I just take Fenofibrate only to reduce triglycerides and will it help me reduce my triglycerides level? Will that cause any issue? - Can I take Niacin (nicotinic acid) only with combination to Multivitamin - Daily Cardio exercise (6 Km cycling 3 KM walk). And Strict diet. My Background: Very sedentary, with pedometer I take 500-600 steps a day in total. Couch potato, 5.7 feet, 58 KG (THIN) - lost 6 KG through swimming only. No history of Familial Hypertriglyceridemia. What would you recommend as alternative treatment for me, based on the observation above.

Lipikind f contains 2 medicines atorvastatin and fenofibrate. Atorvastatin is required if cholesterol is always above 300, or, after heart attack, fenofibrate when triglycerides are above 1000. See your reports to decide whether you needed it. If you did not need it, better to discontinue.

Probably unwise to take medicines. Rosuvas is helpful in blockage patients after they fall sick. F is fenofibrate. It is required for people with triglycerides above 1200. Please post more information for further opinion.

When triglycerides are below one thousand, dietary treatment is better for health than fenofibrate treatment. Reduce items that are converted to triglycerides in liver, like sugar, alcohol, grains and other water soluble calories.

Alcohol sugar jaggery and starchy foods raise triglycerides. Eat a traditional, balanced diet, not the modern restricted diet. Try diet and exercise first, medicines later if needed. Please discuss on phone if you require specific instructions. Best wishes.

You have type 1 DM. I do not know your age and the duration of your diabetes. The s. creatinine of 0.06 mg is abnormally low. Is the report right? The s. creatinine of 1.3 is not necessarily high. One needs to take the age and body weight into consideration and then calculate the creatinine clearance. That gives a more accurate picture of the kidney function. Fenofibrate is unlikely to be the cause for the rising s. creatinine.
