Lipicure 10 Tablet

Product introduction
Lipicure 10 Tablet is a medicine that belongs to a group of drugs known as statins. It is primarily used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related problems. Cholesterol is a type of fat that can accumulate in your blood vessels, causing them to narrow and increasing the chances of heart attack or stroke.

This tablet is commonly prescribed for long-term use and is generally considered safe when taken as directed by a healthcare professional. It can be taken with or without food at any time of the day, but taking it at the same time every day is recommended for the best results. People with high cholesterol often do not experience any symptoms, so it is important not to stop the medication abruptly, as doing so could raise cholesterol levels again and increase the risk of heart complications.

Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is essential during treatment. Along with taking this medicine, lifestyle changes such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and maintaining a healthy weight are important to achieve better results. While you can continue your normal diet, it is advisable to reduce the intake of fatty foods.

Some common side effects of Lipicure 10 Tablet may include nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhea, muscle pain (especially with long-term use), and joint pain. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, you should speak to your doctor if they persist or worsen, or if you notice symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes or unusual muscle pain.

This medicine should not be taken by individuals with certain conditions, such as active liver problems. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as it can harm the baby. People with diabetes should keep track of their blood sugar levels, as the medicine might cause them to rise slightly. Before starting the treatment, your doctor may check your liver function and continue monitoring it periodically.
