Description:
Storvas 20 Tablet is a cholesterol-lowering medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as statins. It is primarily used to reduce elevated cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart-related conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. Cholesterol buildup in the blood vessels can narrow them, which increases the risk of these serious cardiovascular events. By lowering cholesterol, Storvas 20 helps keep blood vessels clear and supports heart health.
This medication is considered safe for long-term use when taken as directed by a healthcare professional. It can be taken with or without food, at any time of the day, but it’s best to take it at the same time daily to maintain consistent levels in the body. Since high cholesterol usually does not cause symptoms, continuing the medication is crucial to effectively manage the condition and prevent complications.
Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is recommended while taking Storvas 20. The medicine should be combined with a comprehensive lifestyle approach, including a balanced diet low in saturated fats, regular physical activity, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and maintaining a healthy weight.
Common side effects may include constipation, flatulence, indigestion, and abdominal discomfort. These effects are usually mild and temporary. However, seek medical advice if you experience persistent side effects, yellowing of the eyes (jaundice), or unexplained muscle pain.
Storvas 20 should not be used in individuals with liver disease and is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to potential risks to the baby. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood glucose levels, as this medication may slightly raise blood sugar. Your doctor may perform liver function tests before and during treatment to ensure the medicine is safe and effective for you.
