Description:
Lipicure 10mg Tablet is a cholesterol-lowering medication that belongs to a class of drugs called statins. It is commonly used to reduce high cholesterol levels and to lower the risk of heart diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can accumulate in blood vessels, leading to blockages and restricted blood flow, which increases the risk of cardiovascular complications.
This medicine can be taken with or without food, and at any time of the day, but it is best to take it at the same time daily to maintain consistent levels in the body. Lipicure 10mg is considered safe for long-term use when taken as directed by your doctor. It is important not to stop the medication without medical advice, even if you feel well, as doing so can cause cholesterol levels to rise again, increasing the risk of heart-related issues.
Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is recommended while on this medicine. Lipicure 10mg works best when combined with a heart-healthy lifestyle, which includes a low-fat diet, regular physical activity, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight.
Common side effects may include constipation, flatulence, indigestion, and abdominal pain, which are generally mild and temporary. However, consult your doctor if these persist or if you experience more serious symptoms like yellowing of the eyes (jaundice) or unexplained muscle pain.
Lipicure 10mg should not be used in individuals with liver disease and is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential harm to the baby. Diabetic patients should also monitor their blood sugar levels closely, as statins can sometimes lead to increased blood sugar. Your doctor may perform liver function tests before and during treatment to ensure the medicine is safe for you.
