Managing Triglycerides     Report this post

High triglycerides have always seemed to be a problem with my patients. But for various reasons they have found it hard to tolerate prescription therapies. Recent studies indicate that fish oil supplements appear to have as much of an impact on triglycerides as some of the less well tolerated prescription medications. Talk to your doctor about how to incorporate them into your therapeutic regimen.

Hey there. One of the lesser known drug therapies for high triglycerides etc (usually it's a triumvirate of triglycerides, cholesterol and blood glocose, I'm given to understand) is Anatara, made by a company in Waltham, MA. I've been on it for four years now, and it was originally prescribed to resolve such high levels that it was filling up the back of my eyes with cholesterol and producing Eruptive Xanthomas on the rest of my body. After two months of taking the Antara with negligible side effects, my triglyceride and cholesterol levels had dropped by about 90%. Most people, even in the medical community, have never heard of this medicine but seriously, it needs to be considered much more widely than it is.
