Overview Remetor 20 Tablet

Lipitor 20mg tablets are statins, medications that lower cholesterol and lessen heart disease risk. High cholesterol, a fatty substance accumulating in blood vessels, narrows them, potentially causing heart attacks or strokes. Widely prescribed and generally safe for long-term use as directed, Lipitor 20mg can be taken with or without food, consistently at the same time daily. While high cholesterol often has no noticeable symptoms, discontinuing this medication raises cholesterol and consequently heart attack/stroke risk. Regular cholesterol checks are essential. This medication complements a comprehensive treatment plan encompassing a healthy diet, regular 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 stomach pain. Persistent symptoms, jaundice, or recurring muscle aches warrant immediate medical attention. Lipitor 20mg 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 might elevate them. Your physician may assess liver function before and during treatment.

FAQs on Remetor 20 Tablet

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

HDL, or "good" cholesterol, helps prevent this buildup. High triglyceride levels also pose health risks.
