Product Description:
Novastat 5mg Tablet is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can accumulate in the blood vessels, leading to narrowing and blockages, which increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Novastat 5 works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver, thereby helping to prevent such complications. It is generally safe for long-term use and can be taken with or without food, at any time of the day, but it is best taken at the same time each day for consistency. Even though high cholesterol usually does not cause noticeable symptoms, stopping this medicine may cause cholesterol levels to rise again, increasing cardiovascular risk.
While taking Novastat 5, it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet low in saturated fats, regular physical activity, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight. Routine cholesterol monitoring is essential to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. Common side effects include muscle pain, weakness, headache, nausea, and stomach discomfort. These are usually mild and temporary, but medical advice should be sought if they persist or if serious symptoms like yellowing of the eyes or unexplained muscle pain occur. The medicine is not suitable for people with liver disease, and it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to potential harm to the baby. Diabetic patients should also monitor their blood sugar closely, as statins can sometimes raise glucose levels.
