    • Lipid profile indicates high cholesterol (240 mg/dL), low HDL (30), and high LDL (200).
    • Recommended intervention includes starting a statin drug in addition to therapeutic lifestyle changes.

    Card 2: Treatment for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

    • Recommended action is to discontinue amitriptyline and start gabapentin (Neurontin).
