Description:
Tonact 20 Tablet is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. It works by blocking an enzyme required to produce cholesterol in the liver, thereby helping prevent the buildup of fatty deposits in blood vessels. Though high cholesterol typically has no symptoms, managing it is crucial to prevent cardiovascular complications. Tonact 20 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 for consistency.
It’s important to continue taking this medicine even if you feel well, as stopping it may increase cholesterol levels again. For optimal results, it should be combined with lifestyle changes like a heart-healthy diet, regular physical activity, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight. Regular monitoring of cholesterol and liver function is recommended while on this medication.
Common side effects may include constipation, gas, indigestion, and abdominal pain, which are usually mild and temporary. However, inform your doctor if you experience persistent muscle pain, weakness, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, as these could indicate more serious side effects. Tonact 20 should be avoided by individuals with liver disease and is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar, as statins can sometimes raise glucose levels. Always consult your doctor before starting or stopping this medication.
