Product introduction
Dapcea R 180mg/40mg Tablet is a combination medicine 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, which may lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Dapcea R 180mg/40mg Tablet is a widely prescribed medicine and regarded as safe for long-term use. It can be taken with a meal or on an empty stomach. 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 stopping your medicine may increase your cholesterol levels, making your condition worse and increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke.
It is important to have your cholesterol levels checked regularly. This medicine 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. 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 muscle pain, weakness, nausea, headache, and stomach pain. These are usually mild and disappear after a short time. Consult your doctor if they persist, you notice any yellowing of your eyes, or get repeated or unexplained muscle pains.
Dapcea R 180mg/40mg Tablet should not be used in conditions such as liver disease. Also, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should not take this medicine, as it may harm the developing baby. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar levels while taking this medicine, as it may lead to an increase in blood sugar levels.
