LIPITOP 10

LIPITOP 5MG Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called statins. It is used to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that builds up in your blood vessels and causes narrowing, which may lead to a heart attack or stroke.  It works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required by the body to make cholesterol, thereby lowering “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and raising “good” cholesterol (HDL). It is important to have your cholesterol levels checked regularly. Common side effects of this medicine include muscle pain, weakness, nausea, headache, and stomach pain.
