Questions to Consider Question 1 Question 2 Question 3 Question 4
Initial Treatment & Management Start low dose Crestor 5 mg for familial combined hyperlipidemia. Due to previous statin intolerance, take ½ tablet every other day. Increase metformin to 2250 mg/day for diabetes and to reduce LDL-P and lower triglycerides. Continue insulin. Start Lovaza 4 g/day to lower triglycerides and raise HDL. Start vitamin D2 50,000 IU/week and D3 5000 IU/day for vitamin D deficiency. Start CO Q 10 300-600 mg/day capsules with oil for muscle aching.
