Triglycerides 2.68 should I take lipid-lowering drugs?

The normal value of triglyceride is ≤2.26mmol/L. Triglyceride 2.68mmol/L is slightly higher than the normal value, which is abnormal and will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, if the patient has cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease need to take lipid-lowering drugs for control; if the patient does not have cardiovascular disease as well as its risk factors, the patient can first monitor the level by adjusting the lifestyle and behavioral changes, and then take lipid-lowering drugs when there is no improvement. If the patient does not have cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, his/her level can be monitored by lifestyle modification first and no improvement can be seen before taking lipid-lowering drugs. Common triglyceride-lowering drugs are fibrates such as fenofibrate. When taking this drug, it is important to monitor liver and kidney function, and it is also contraindicated during breastfeeding. Therefore, when elevated triglycerides are detected, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of the doctor, and regular follow-up to monitor triglyceride levels, as well as monitoring of liver and kidney function, and to consult the doctor in a timely manner if there is any discomfort during the period of taking the medication in order to avoid irreversible results.
