Product introduction
Bempify Tablet 180mg 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, possibly leading to a heart attack or stroke.
Bempify Tablet 180mg is used in combination with other medicines that lower cholesterol levels, such as statins. It may be taken with a meal or on an empty stomach. You can take it at any time of the 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 worsen. This may lead to your cholesterol levels rising again and increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke.
It is important to have cholesterol levels checked regularly. Bempify Tablet 180mg is only one part of the treatment program, which should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, moderation of alcohol intake, and weight reduction. Eat normally while taking this medicine, but try to avoid foods high in fat.
The most common side effects of this medicine include respiratory tract infections, muscle spasms, back pain, pain in the shoulder, legs, or arms, stomach pain, anemia, increased liver enzymes, and bronchitis. Before taking it, let the doctor know if you are suffering from liver or kidney disease. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult the doctor before taking this medicine.

Q. What is LDL or bad cholesterol?
LDL or low-density lipoprotein is called bad cholesterol because it causes a buildup of cholesterol in the blood. This leads to blockage in the heart and is a direct cause of heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease.
Q. What is HDL or good cholesterol?
HDL or high-density lipoprotein is also called good cholesterol because it carries cholesterol from your blood to your liver to be removed. This reduces the risk of heart disease.
Q. How can I check my cholesterol level?
You can book a lipid profile test with any accredited laboratory. This test helps you monitor your total cholesterol, LDL levels, HDL levels, triglycerides, and the ratio between cholesterol and HDL. You may need to fast for a period of 10-12 hours before giving your blood sample for this test. After receiving your test report, consult a doctor to help you evaluate the test results.
Q. What is the normal cholesterol level in a blood test?
Your total cholesterol level should be 125 to 200 mg/dL, LDL should be less than 100 mg/dL, and HDL should be 40 mg/dL or higher.
Q. What will happen if I have high cholesterol?
If you have a high cholesterol level, it builds up on the walls of your arteries. This condition causes arteries to become narrow, and the narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the heart. This can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Q. What lifestyle changes can help improve the effectiveness of this medicine?
Along with taking Bempify Tablet 180mg, taking a low-fat diet, exercising regularly, reducing body weight, and limiting alcohol consumption can help improve the effectiveness of this medicine and lower cholesterol levels.
