Overview Asvasin 20mg Tablet

Lipitor 20mg tablets are statins, medications lowering cholesterol and mitigating heart disease risk. High cholesterol, a fatty substance accumulating in blood vessels, causes narrowing, potentially leading to heart attacks or strokes. Widely prescribed and considered safe for long-term use under medical supervision, Lipitor 20mg can be taken with or without food, consistently at the same time daily. High cholesterol often presents no symptoms, but discontinuing treatment raises cholesterol and heart disease/stroke risk. Regular cholesterol checks are vital. This medication is part of a broader treatment plan including healthy eating, exercise, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and weight management. Maintain a normal diet, minimizing high-fat foods. Common, typically mild and transient, side effects include constipation, gas, indigestion, and abdominal discomfort. Persistent symptoms, jaundice, or recurring unexplained muscle aches necessitate immediate medical attention. Contraindicated in liver disease, pregnancy, and breastfeeding due to potential fetal harm. Diabetics should monitor blood sugar levels, as this medication might elevate them. Liver function tests may be conducted before and during treatment.

FAQs on Asvasin 20mg Tablet

Your blood contains cholesterol, a type of fat. Total cholesterol reflects the combined levels of LDL and HDL cholesterol. LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, can accumulate in blood vessel walls, hindering blood flow to vital organs like the heart and brain, potentially leading to heart disease and stroke. HDL, or "good" cholesterol, helps prevent this LDL buildup. High triglyceride levels also pose health risks.
