Overview Avascare 5mg Tablet

Lipitor 5mg tablets are statin medications that reduce cholesterol and lessen the risk of cardiovascular complications. High cholesterol, a fatty substance accumulating in blood vessels, narrows arteries, potentially causing heart attacks or strokes. Widely prescribed and generally safe for long-term use under medical supervision, Lipitor 5mg can be taken with or without food, consistently at the same time daily. While high cholesterol often presents no symptoms, discontinuation raises heart disease and stroke risk. Regular cholesterol checks are crucial. Treatment involves this medication, complemented by a balanced diet, exercise, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and weight management. Maintain a normal diet, minimizing high-fat foods. Common, usually transient, mild side effects include constipation, gas, indigestion, and stomach pain. Persistent symptoms, jaundice, or recurring muscle aches warrant immediate medical attention. Contraindicated in liver disease, pregnancy, and breastfeeding due to potential fetal harm. Diabetics should monitor blood glucose levels as this medication might elevate them. Liver function tests may be conducted before and during treatment.
