Overview Egstat 20mg Tablet

CholestoLow 20mg tablets are statins, medications that lower cholesterol and decrease heart disease risk. High cholesterol, a fatty substance accumulating in blood vessels, causes narrowing, potentially leading to heart attacks or strokes. CholestoLow 20mg is widely prescribed and considered safe for long-term use under medical supervision. It can be taken with or without food, at any time of day, but consistency is recommended. High cholesterol often shows no symptoms, but discontinuing treatment raises cholesterol levels, increasing heart disease and stroke risk. Regular cholesterol checks are crucial. This medication is part of a comprehensive program including a healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and weight management. Maintain a balanced diet, limiting high-fat foods. Common, usually mild and transient, side effects include constipation, gas, indigestion, and abdominal pain. Persistent symptoms, yellowing of the eyes, or unexplained muscle pain warrant immediate medical attention. This medication is contraindicated in liver disease, pregnancy, and breastfeeding due to potential harm to the developing fetus. Diabetics should monitor blood sugar levels, as this medication may elevate them. Liver function tests may be conducted before and during treatment.

FAQs on Egstat 20mg Tablet

Your blood contains cholesterol, a type of fat. Total cholesterol reflects the combined levels of LDL and HDL cholesterol.
