Product Details

Lipiget 40mg Tablets contain the active ingredient atorvastatin, a powerful statin used to manage cholesterol levels. Each tablet delivers a precise 40 mg dose of atorvastatin, helping to regulate cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. This medication is commonly prescribed when lifestyle changes alone are insufficient to control cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Purposes

The primary purpose of Lipiget 40mg Tablets is to lower elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. By inhibiting the enzyme responsible for cholesterol production, Tablets help prevent cardiovascular issues associated with high cholesterol, including heart disease. It is also used to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in individuals with normal cholesterol levels but at increased risk of cardiovascular events.

Warnings

Lipiget 40mg Tablets should be used with caution if you have a history of liver disease or unexplained abnormal liver function tests. Large quantities of grapefruit juice can alter the effectiveness of Lipiget 40mg Tablets, so limit intake to one or two small glasses per day. If you experience any symptoms affecting your ability to drive or operate machinery, avoid these activities. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have had a stroke or if you are aware of any intolerance to sugars, as Tablets contain lactose.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of  Tablets may include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea and abdominal discomfort, as well as more severe reactions like allergic swelling of the face and throat, severe skin conditions, and liver enzyme abnormalities. If you experience any severe symptoms such as significant muscle pain, weakness, or unusual bleeding, seek medical attention promptly.

Cautions

Before starting Tablets, inform your doctor about your complete medical history, particularly any liver disorders or significant medical conditions. Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly if you have diabetes, as Tablets can affect blood glucose. Do not discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor, and ensure you adhere to a cholesterol-lowering diet as recommended. Always store Lipiget 40mg Tablets at room temperature, away from light and heat, to maintain its effectiveness.
