It is essential to follow a cholesterol-lowering diet alongside this medication for optimal results.

Purposes

The primary goal of Lochol 20mg Tablets is to lower high cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. This helps prevent complications related to heart disease, even for patients who have normal cholesterol levels but are at a higher risk. Patients should continue maintaining a balanced diet and exercise regimen to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.

Warnings

Before using Lochol 20mg Tablets, avoid consuming large quantities of grapefruit juice, as it can interfere with the drug’s action. Patients with a history of liver disease, lactose intolerance, or previous strokes should consult their doctor before starting treatment. This medication may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery, so exercise caution until you know how it affects you.

Adverse Effects

Some possible side effects of Lochol 20mg Tablets include allergic reactions such as swelling of the face and throat, severe skin reactions, and difficulty breathing. Other effects may include nightmares, insomnia, loss of appetite, weight gain, or changes in blood sugar levels. It is important to monitor for any unusual symptoms and report them to your healthcare provider.

Cautions

Do not take Tablets if you are hypersensitive to atorvastatin or any other statins. Regular liver function tests are advised during treatment, and patients with abnormal liver test results should avoid this medication.
