Show More
Q. In what cases the doctor won't prescribe Bempedoic acid?
Your doctor won't prescribe this medicine if you have had a tendon rupture in the past. This is because tendon rupture is a possible side effect of the drug. Tendon rupture is damage to the tendons which are tissues that connect muscles to bones. Symptoms of tendon rupture may include pain, swelling, tears, and inflammation of tendons including the arm, shoulder, and back of the ankle. You have a higher risk of tendon rupture if you are 60 years or older or have kidney failure.
Q. How should I take Bempedoic acid?
One tablet of Bempedoic acid is to be taken once daily with or without food for as long as it is prescribed by the doctor. However, it is advisable to always follow your doctor's instructions in 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 Bempedoic acid, 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.

Ezetimibe

Q. Is Ezetimibe a blood thinner?
No, Ezetimibe is not a blood thinner. It belongs to cholesterol-lowering group of medicines. It is a medicine which is used along with lifestyle changes to reduce cholesterol levels and other fatty substances in the blood.
Q. What foods should be avoided while taking Ezetimibe?
Since Ezetimibe is meant to decrease blood cholesterol levels, for best results avoid foods which are high in calories like chips, burgers, fried food, etc. Eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. Be sure to follow all exercise and dietary recommendations made by your doctor or dietician.
Q. Can Ezetimibe cause liver damage?
Ezetimibe, when used with another cholesterol-lowering medicine (statin), may commonly cause an increase in liver enzymes. However, if it is used alone, then chances of increase in liver enzymes are uncommon. Your doctor will get blood tests done to check your liver function before starting and during treatment with Ezetimibe.

Q. Should Ezetimibe be taken at night?
You can take Ezetimibe at anytime of the day. Take it exactly as advised by your doctor. You can take it with or without food.
Q. Can I drink alcohol with Ezetimibe?
You should avoid alcohol while taking Ezetimibe since it may increase your risk of getting side effects in the liver. Discuss with your doctor if you have any concerns.
Q. Does Ezetimibe cause muscle pain?
Muscle pain may occur when Ezetimibe is used with a statin. It usually does not occur when Ezetimibe is used alone. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain or weakness. This is because on rare occasions, muscle problems, including muscle breakdown which may result in kidney damage can be serious and may become a potentially fatal condition.
Q. Does Ezetimibe raise blood sugar?
No, Ezetimibe does not raise blood sugar levels. In fact, it may be helpful for patients with diabetes since it helps in improving insulin resistance and also kidney function. Ezetimibe has not been shown to have any direct effect on blood sugar levels.
