A triglyceride level above 300 mg/dL for 6 months needs medical review, though the immediate pancreatitis risk rises more sharply above 500.
Please repeat a fasting lipid profile and check blood sugar/HbA1c, thyroid, liver and kidney tests; medicines and alcohol should also be reviewed.
Reduce sugar, sweet drinks, refined carbohydrates and alcohol, exercise regularly, and work toward a healthy weight.
Medication may be needed depending on the full lipid profile and other risk factors; please book a consultation with a physician for a personalised plan.

TG >300 mg/dL elevated hain, lekin usually emergency nahi hote. Pehle fasting lipid profile repeat karke cause check karein—diabetes, thyroid problem, weight gain, alcohol/diet etc.
Prescription:
• Tab. Rosuvastatin 5–10 mg OD — only after reviewing complete lipid profile/ASCVD risk.
• TG 300–499 mein fibrate/omega-3 routinely start nahi kiye jaate unless specific indication ho.

Triglycerides above 300 mg/dL are elevated but are not usually an immediate emergency.
Please repeat a fasting lipid profile and check for causes such as diabetes/insulin resistance, thyroid disease, alcohol intake, excess weight and certain medications.
Reduce sugar, sweets, refined carbohydrates and alcohol, exercise regularly and work on weight control.
Medication depends on the complete lipid profile and cardiovascular risk.
Please consult me on Practo for an individualized assessment and treatment plan rather than starting any medicine on your own.
