Overview Lentor 20mg Tablet

Cholestrin 20mg tablets are statins, medications lowering cholesterol and mitigating cardiovascular risks. High cholesterol, a fatty substance accumulating in blood vessels, causes narrowing, potentially leading to heart attacks or strokes. Cholestrin 20mg is widely prescribed and deemed safe for long-term use under medical supervision. It can be taken with or without food, at any time of day, but consistently at the same time is recommended. High cholesterol often shows no symptoms, yet discontinuing treatment elevates risk. Regular cholesterol monitoring is vital. This medication complements a comprehensive program encompassing healthy eating, exercise, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and weight management. Maintain a balanced diet, limiting high-fat foods. Common, generally mild, temporary side effects include constipation, gas, indigestion, and abdominal discomfort. Persistent symptoms, jaundice, or recurring muscle pain necessitate medical attention. Liver disease, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and potential interactions with diabetes (requiring blood sugar monitoring) preclude use. Liver function tests may be conducted before and during treatment.

FAQs on Lentor 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 and increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Conversely, HDL, or "good" cholesterol, helps prevent this buildup. High triglyceride levels also pose health risks.
