For reducing triglycerides treatment of secondary causes such as diabetes, obesity and intensive diet and lifestyle changes are recommended before direct pharmacotherapy.
Lifestyle changes include weight loss, increased physical activity, limited alcohol consumption, and adoption of various healthy dietary practices such as decreased consumption of refined carbohydrates and simple sugars, substitution of saturated and trans fats with unsaturated fats, and increased consumption of seafoods.
If you couldn't control with these measures take Omega 3 fatty acids. It has shown to reduce the risk of coronary artery disease.
