Product Introduction
Avas F 10mg/160mg Tablet is a combination medication designed to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It is prescribed when lifestyle changes such as a balanced low-fat diet and regular exercise are not enough to manage lipid levels effectively. By reducing bad cholesterol and fats, this medicine helps in lowering the risk of cardiovascular problems like heart attack and stroke.

This tablet can be taken with or without food, but taking it at the same time each day will help you remember to take it consistently. Your doctor will decide the appropriate dose based on your cholesterol levels and how your body responds to the treatment. People with high cholesterol often do not have any noticeable symptoms, so continuing the medication as prescribed is crucial to prevent serious complications.

For best results, regular monitoring of lipid levels through blood tests is important. This medication works best when combined with healthy lifestyle practices such as eating a low-fat diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and maintaining a healthy weight. While on treatment, try to stay away from foods high in saturated fats.

Some common side effects that may occur include nausea, abdominal discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, headaches, difficulty sleeping, and muscle pain. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, unusual bleeding or bruising, or severe unexplained muscle pain, you should seek medical attention immediately. Periodic liver function tests may be recommended while using this medicine.

This medication is not suitable for people with certain liver conditions, such as persistent yellowing of the eyes or abnormal liver function test results. Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, are pregnant, planning to conceive, or are breastfeeding before starting this medicine. Individuals with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels, as this tablet may slightly raise blood glucose.
