Hi all, my wife is 21 week pregnant. Her recent test report showed triglycerides is 174 mg/dl (<150 is normal) and vldl cholesterol is 34.8 mg/dl (<30 normal). Doctor prescribed udiliv 300 mg thrice a day. The dosage seems very high (as I read over internet about the med), but the level of cholesterol seems not that high. Could you please suggest if this dosage seems high? Could there be any specific reason for giving such high dosage?
