Bempesta R 180mg/40mg Tablet is a commonly prescribed medicine and is considered safe for long-term use. It can be taken with or without food, at any time of the day, but it is best to take it at the same time each day to help maintain consistent levels in your body. Most people with high cholesterol do not feel unwell, but stopping this medicine may cause cholesterol levels to rise again, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.


It is important to have your cholesterol levels checked regularly while taking Bempesta R 180mg/40mg Tablet. This medicine works best when combined with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, weight control, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol intake. You can eat normally, but try to avoid foods that are high in saturated fats and cholesterol.


Common side effects of Bempesta R 180mg/40mg Tablet include muscle pain, weakness, nausea, headache, and stomach discomfort. These effects are usually mild and temporary. However, contact your doctor if they persist, if you experience unexplained muscle pain, or if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes.


Do not use Bempesta R 180mg/40mg Tablet if you have liver disease. This medicine is also not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as it may harm the developing baby. If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar levels regularly, as Bempesta R 180mg/40mg Tablet may cause a slight increase in blood sugar.
