Hi, my age is 62 years old. I had been diagnosed with type II diabetes and the medicines I have been taking are as follows:- Metformin 1000 mg 1xod Metformin 500 mg 1xhs glimepiride 2 mg 1xbd clopid 75 mg 1xod atorvastatin 20 mg 1xhs The above medicines have been taken regularly for past three months. Now I have taken the blood test two days ago. The result is as follows:- FBS 149 PPBS 235 HbA1c 6.0 Serum urea 24 mg/dl serum creatinine 0.89 serum Uric acid 5.3 Liver Function Test Total Bilirubin 0.78 SGOT 50 SGPT 58 LIPID Profile Total cholesterol 135 Triglycerides 121 HDL 46 LDL 65 I request a diagnosis of my status of health. I go for swimming once in a while and find no problem in swimming for about 700 metres in about one hour (that is 14 lengths in a lap of 50 metres each) I am muscular and have a athletic body and have no other symptoms. I love drinking alcohol and have about three pegs of 60 ml each every night most days. Should I stop drinking. I can muster enough will if the kind doctor says so. Thanking you in anticipation.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for your query.
I have gone through all the details given including lab values. All the values seem to be well within normal limits, except SGOT & SGPT. Both are slightly high, signifying some affection of liver functions. It points to one thing clearly that is to reduce alcohol intake. It should be preferably one or two days in a week plus much lesser in quantity. Thanks.

Hello. Your cousin's symptoms can be explained by the diabetic medications. Oxra causes weight loss, upto 2-4 kg on an average, though it can cause more weight loss also. However it is better to rule out other causes of weight loss and loss of appetite before attributing them to medicines. Kindly consult you doctor and get evaluated properly. Thank you.

when braces is advised it is never that only two teeth are realigned . the overall correction is done ..depending on the space available or not available in arch .. you need to either show your clinical picture .. so that assessment can be done for braces .. or if you are not interested to go for long procedure .. you may go for full coverage crowns in upper two incisor s which. have undergone .. root canal treatment..

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.

Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. According to me there is really no need to for for any statins. As total cholesterol is 214 mg, LDL 123 mg & TGL is 176 mg. These can be brought to normal level by dietary adjustment and regular exercise. So I do not see the need for two statins Atorvastatin (in Ecosprin AV75) & Rosuvastatin. I would not have recommended either of them As regards rosuvastatin causing diabetes, this is not entirely true. There is a slight increase in the ri...more

Rosuvastatin can certainly raise liver enzymes. It is a good medicine though for people with coronary artery disease and offers significant benefits. You can do periodic blood tests for liver enzymes for next 2 months or so, and every 2-3 months thereafter. You should take a combined decision with your cardiologist whether you should continue the drug or stop it.

They can be taken together. However, atorvastatin is not a medicine for high triglycerides. Instead of medicines, try diet for nafls and high triglycerides. Triglycerides are manufactured in liver from alcohol sugar jaggery and starchy foods, reduce these items in diet. Increase traditional health foods like yoghurt cheese nuts eggs butter vegetable etc which are low in glucose. For more information please discuss on phone. Best wishes.

These medicines are not for disbalance, they are for control of BP, sugar, etc. Ivabradine may not be essential. For disbalance discuss with your Dr. about physiotherapy.
