Description
LIPIGLAX 80 MG TABLETS – 28’S
Product Overview:
Lipiglax 80 mg Tablets offer a high-potency dose of rosuvastatin, a statin medication designed to substantially reduce cholesterol levels in adults with severely elevated lipid profiles or very high cardiovascular risk.
Therapeutic Use:
Lipiglax 80 mg is prescribed to:
- Reduce severely elevated LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol
- Manage familial hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia resistant to lower doses
- Provide intensive lipid-lowering therapy for secondary prevention in high-risk patients
Mechanism of Action:
Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme critical to cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This leads to marked reductions in LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides, along with modest increases in HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
Dosage & Administration:
- Take one 80 mg tablet once daily, or as directed by your physician
- Can be taken with or without food, but consistent timing aids adherence
- If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless near next dose; do not make up with two tablets
Important Precautions:
- Liver Monitoring: Periodic checks of liver enzymes are essential
- Muscle Concerns: Immediately report unexplained muscle pain, weakness, or tenderness
- Use in Special Populations: Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding; caution in those with liver, kidney, or thyroid conditions
- Discuss all concurrent medications with your healthcare provider to avoid drug interactions
Side Effects:
Common: headache, nausea, abdominal discomfort, muscle aches, constipation
Rare but serious: significant liver enzyme elevation, myopathy, or rhabdomyolysis
Storage:
Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
Usage Advice:
Lipiglax 80 mg should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan—including diet, exercise, and monitoring—with the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure both efficacy and safety.
