Overview Elivas 20mg Tablet

Cholestomed 20mg tablets are statins, medications that lower cholesterol and lessen heart disease risk. High cholesterol, a fatty substance accumulating in blood vessels, causes narrowing that can lead to heart attacks or strokes. Cholestomed 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 advised. High cholesterol often shows no symptoms, but discontinuing treatment raises cholesterol levels, increasing heart disease and stroke risk. Regular cholesterol checks are essential. This medication is part of a comprehensive program including diet, exercise, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and weight management. Maintain a normal diet, minimizing high-fat foods. Common, usually mild and temporary, side effects include constipation, gas, indigestion, and abdominal pain. Persistent side effects, yellowing eyes, or unexplained muscle aches require 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 medicine may elevate them. Liver function tests may be conducted before and during treatment.

FAQs on Elivas 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 buildup. High triglyceride levels also pose health risks.

Elivas 20mg tablets are statins that reduce blood lipid levels, specifically cholesterol and triglycerides.
