Product introduction
Lipitas 20 Tablet belongs to a class of medicines known as statins. It is primarily used to reduce high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, which helps in lowering the risk of heart problems such as heart attack and stroke. Cholesterol is a type of fat that can build up inside your blood vessels, leading to their narrowing and increasing the chances of cardiovascular complications.

This medicine is commonly prescribed and is considered safe for long-term use when taken as directed by a doctor. It can be consumed either with meals or on an empty stomach, and it is best to take it at the same time each day for maximum benefit. Most individuals with high cholesterol do not experience symptoms, so it is important to continue the medication even if you feel fine. Stopping the treatment suddenly may cause cholesterol levels to rise, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Along with this medication, lifestyle changes such as following a balanced diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential for better results. While taking this medicine, try to avoid foods that are rich in unhealthy fats.

Some people may experience mild side effects like muscle pain, weakness, nausea, headache, dizziness, stomach discomfort, or joint pain. These usually resolve on their own, but if they persist or worsen, you should seek medical advice. If you notice unusual symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes or severe, unexplained muscle pain, consult your doctor immediately.

This medicine should not be used by individuals with certain liver conditions. It is also unsafe for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as it may harm the baby. People with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels closely because this medicine can slightly increase blood sugar.
