Lipicure 40mg Tablet 15s is a medication containing Atorvastatin, primarily prescribed to manage and control cholesterol levels in the body.

As a statin, Atorvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a crucial role in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, Atorvastatin effectively lowers the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol in the blood, it helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.

Follow your doctor's guidance for this medicine, taking it in the prescribed dose and duration. It can be taken with or without food, but maintaining a consistent time daily is recommended for better results.

While generally well tolerated, Atorvastatin may cause side effects, including muscle pain, headache, nausea, constipation, and flatulence. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, consult your healthcare provider.

Inform your doctor about any existing liver issues, alcohol consumption, or concurrent use of medications. Periodic monitoring of liver function may be recommended during treatment.

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember. If your next dose is close, skip the missed one and stay on your regular schedule. Avoid taking two doses at once. Consult your doctor for guidance on managing missed doses effectively.
