Lipicure 40 Tablet

Product Introduction
Lipicure 40 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines known as statins. It helps reduce cholesterol levels in the body and lowers the risk of heart-related problems such as heart attacks and strokes. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can accumulate in the blood vessels, causing them to narrow, which may result in serious cardiovascular complications.

This medicine is commonly prescribed for long-term use and is considered safe when taken exactly as directed by a doctor. It can be taken with food or on an empty stomach, preferably at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in the body. Even though high cholesterol usually does not cause noticeable symptoms, discontinuing this medicine without medical advice can lead to a rise in cholesterol levels and increase the chances of heart disease or stroke.

Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is important while on this treatment. Along with the medication, lifestyle changes such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential for the best results. While taking this medicine, try to avoid foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol.

Some people may experience side effects such as nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, joint discomfort, or muscle pain with long-term use. These effects are usually mild and temporary. However, seek medical attention if symptoms persist, if there is yellowing of the eyes or skin, or if you experience unexplained muscle pain.

This medication is not suitable for individuals with certain health conditions such as active liver problems. It should also be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as it can harm the baby. People with diabetes should closely monitor their blood sugar levels while taking this medicine since it can cause slight increases in blood glucose. Your doctor may perform liver function tests before and during treatment to ensure the medicine is safe for you.

How It Works
Lipicure 40 Tablet belongs to the statin class of medicines. It works by blocking the action of an enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) involved in the production of cholesterol in the body. This lowers the levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing “good” cholesterol (HDL), improving heart health.
