Lipvas 40mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Description
Lipvas 40 Tablet is a cholesterol-lowering medicine that contains Atorvastatin as its active ingredient. It belongs to a group of medicines known as statins, which work by reducing the liver's production of cholesterol. By lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, while slightly increasing good cholesterol (HDL), Lipvas 40 Tablet helps in improving overall heart health.
Doctors usually prescribe Lipvas 40 Tablet to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other complications related to high cholesterol. It is particularly useful for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or other risk factors that increase the chance of heart disease. Along with the medicine, following a low-fat diet and a healthy lifestyle is equally important to achieve the best results. Atorva 40mg tablet, Tonact 40mg tablet, Storvas 40mg tablet and Lipvas 40mg tablet are some other medicines with atorvastatin as their active ingredient.
For best effectiveness, Lipvas 40 Tablet is recommended to be taken once daily, preferably at night, or as directed by your doctor. Taking the tablet at bedtime works better because cholesterol production in the body is higher during the night. It is essential to continue taking the medicine regularly without skipping doses, even if you feel fine, because high cholesterol often does not cause noticeable symptoms.
While using Lipvas 40 Tablet, it is recommended to avoid consuming foods high in saturated fats, fried snacks, and junk food. Instead, include more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and regular exercise in your routine. Grapefruit juice should also be avoided as it may interfere with how atorvastatin works in the body and increase the risk of side effects.
Do not stop taking Lipvas 40 Tablet on your own without consulting your doctor, as this may increase cholesterol levels again and raise the risk of heart-related problems. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding before starting this medicine. Also, please share your medical history and details of any other medications you are taking to ensure the safe use of Lipvas 40 Tablet.
