Acipicap 250mg Capsule
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Acipicap 250mg Capsule is a medicine used to treat high cholesterol. This medicine helps by lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) while at the same time raising "good" cholesterol (HDL). Cholesterol is a fatty substance that builds up in blood vessels and causes narrowing, which may cause a heart attack or stroke.
Acipicap 250mg Capsule can be taken with or without food. You can take it at any time of day but try to take it at the same time each day. Most people with high cholesterol do not feel ill, but if you stop taking this medicine, your condition could get worse. This may lead to your cholesterol levels rising up again and increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.
It is important to have your cholesterol levels checked regularly. This medicine is only one part of a treatment program which should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, moderation of alcohol intake, and weight reduction. You can eat normally while taking this medicine, but try to avoid foods that are high in fat.
Common side effects of this medicine include headache, flushing, indigestion, stomach pain, weakness, and hives. These are usually mild and disappear after a short time. If they do not resolve on their own or get worse, let your doctor know.
This medicine should be taken with caution if you are suffering from any kidney or liver disease. Also, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should not take this medicine without consulting the doctor. Your doctor may ask to get regular tests for kidney and liver function while you are taking this medicine.
