Description:
Icos 1G Capsule is used to treat high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) by helping lower the levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in the blood, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is an essential part of a treatment program that also includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, and managing weight.
To use, take Icos 1G Capsule as prescribed by your doctor, typically once a day at the same time. While most people with high cholesterol do not experience symptoms, discontinuing the medication could lead to an increase in cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is important. Common side effects of Icos 1G Capsule include musculoskeletal pain, peripheral edema, constipation, gout, atrial fibrillation, joint pain, and oropharyngeal pain. If these side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Before starting the medication, inform your doctor if you have any other medical conditions or are on other medications, as there may be interactions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
