My father is 53, he is diabetic and has an increased level of cholesterol. He is currently taking lipi ez for cholesterol but it has a common side effect of increasing blood sugar. Is there some other medication for cholesterol for diabetes patients?

This side effect is seen with all statins which are commonly used for controlling high cholesterol. As your father is already diabetic and presence of high cholesterol is another risk factor for atherosclerosis which may cause angina or heart attack.There seems no reason for any worry.

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. Tablet lipi ez is given for reduction of ldl and tgl. However, since the lipid levels have been not mentioned, it is difficult to comment. Still he may shift to plane atorvastatin tablets instead of the combination as of now. Thanks.
