High Triglycerides - 253 mg/dl
Dear Doctor,
I have high Triglycerides which is 253 mg/dl. However my total cholesterol is 196 mg/dl
I have been prescribed Rozucor 10 to lower my Triglycerides, however as I came to know it contains Rosuvastatin which causes kidney damage.
Instead of Rozucor 10 can I take Niacin tablets which does not have adverse effects on kidney.
Please tell me the exact dose of Niacin tablets and the name of the tablet so that I can buy in chemist shop.
