I am 41 male. I have been taking saroglitazar (lipaglyn) 4 mg in noon after lunch as describe by doctor for high triglycerides and rosuson f10 at night after dinner for high cholesterol. I am on strict diet now with 2 to 2.5 hour physical activity include 10 km walk per day. So can I stop saroglitazar after 2 month course after testing done. It is necessary to take life long? Or taking as required as tested.
