My bl chem showed total cholesterol 243.24; LDL147.49 ;Hdl 71.04. SGPT 61. Aside fr diet and exercise, to what dose should I increase my simvastatin? Thank you
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having high cholesterol and high LDL levels. And for this daily lipid lower Chat Doctor.  You are also taking lower dose. So in my opinion, you should take 20 mg of rosuvastatin daily for 1 month. Get done repeat lipid profile after 1 month. If your lipids are within normal range then taper down dose to 10 mg daily. No role of taking rosuvastatin every other day. So discuss all these with your treating doctor and plan treatment accordingly. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
