Avas 5 Tablet

Product introduction
Avas 5 Tablet is a medicine that belongs to the group of drugs known as statins. It is primarily used to lower cholesterol levels in the body and reduce the chances of heart-related problems such as heart attack and stroke. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can build up inside the blood vessels, causing them to become narrow, which increases the risk of serious heart conditions.

This tablet is commonly prescribed and considered safe for long-term use when taken as directed by your doctor. You can take it with or without food, at any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time every day to get the best results. People with high cholesterol usually do not experience symptoms, so it is important not to stop the medicine suddenly, as this can raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease or stroke.

Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is recommended while taking this medication. Along with the treatment, it is essential to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight. While taking this medicine, you can continue your normal diet, but it is better to avoid foods rich in unhealthy fats.

Some common side effects may include nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, joint discomfort, and muscle pain when used for a long period. These are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or if you notice unusual symptoms such as yellowing of the eyes or severe muscle pain, consult your doctor immediately.

This medication should not be taken by people with certain health conditions, such as active liver problems. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should avoid using this medicine as it can harm the baby. People with diabetes should regularly monitor their blood sugar levels as this drug may cause a slight increase. Your doctor may also perform liver function tests before and during the treatment to ensure safe use.
