Hyperlipidemia is the culprit of cardiovascular disease and has been called the “silent killer”. The damage to the body is hidden, gradual, progressive and systemic. Its direct damage is the acceleration of atherosclerosis throughout the body. Normal blood lipids have many important roles in the body. However, if blood lipids are too high, they can be deposited in blood vessels and gradually form atherosclerotic plaques, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, you need to take medication, but what to review after taking medication, what items are reviewed do you understand? First, many friends do not understand, high blood lipids are taking medication, but also regular review what? 1.Evaluate the effectiveness of drugs The purpose of controlling blood lipids is to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and there are clear clinical requirements on how much to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and only through regular review can we understand the control of blood lipids. 2.Monitoring adverse drug reactions Whether it is statins or other types of lipid-lowering drugs, there is a certain risk of adverse reactions with medication. In order to understand the safety of medication, it is necessary to combine the risk of adverse reactions with the medication used and to regularly monitor and review the relevant indicators, so as to ensure the safety of medication. Second, what is the regular review of medication to control high blood lipid? 1.Review the blood lipid level to understand the control of blood lipid. After 3 months of taking medication, it is recommended to review the lipid level to understand the lipid control situation and how much the lipid should be controlled. It is recommended not to just look at the report sheet to see if the standard is met, but to evaluate and judge the risk of cardiovascular disease in combination with your own. 2, review the relevant indicators, to confirm the safety of drug use issues. First of all, it should be clear that there is a certain chance of various adverse reactions, not all people taking them will produce a variety of adverse reactions, we do a good job of checking various indicators, precisely to reduce the chances of adverse reactions. For those who take statins for a long time, liver function must be reviewed regularly. It is recommended to review liver function when taking the drug for 1 month to see if the drug has any adverse effects on liver function, and if transaminases rise to more than 3 times the upper limit, the drug must be stopped in time. Taking statins, there is also a risk of adverse reactions of muscle pain, muscle pain from the index check, you can check the creatine kinase level, if the creatine kinase level is elevated more than 5 times the upper limit of the normal value, you should also promptly adjust the drug. Regular blood glucose checks are also very important. If there is an increase in blood glucose, it should be actively controlled as soon as possible, but usually the increase in blood glucose is not used as a basis for stopping statins. In addition to the safety of statins, other drugs also have their own risk of adverse reactions and precautions, such as beta drugs may also lead to elevated transaminases, high-purity fish oil preparations may increase the risk of bleeding, etc. For what indicators to check, how often to check and other aspects of the problem can be determined in conjunction with the specific circumstances of the drugs used. If you take medication to control your blood lipids, it is very necessary for your doctor to ask you to have a regular review to confirm that your blood lipid control is up to standard and the safety of the medication.
