Starstat EZ 20mg/10mg Tablet

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Starstat EZ 20mg/10mg Tablet is a medicine used to treat high cholesterol. This is a combination medicine that reduces "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides (fats) levels. It also helps to reduce risk of future heart attack and is potentially safer in patients with liver and kidney diseases.

Starstat EZ 20mg/10mg Tablet can be taken with or without food. You should take it regularly at evenly spaced intervals as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor. Taking it at the same time every day will help you remember to take it. The dose and duration of treatment will depend on what you are being treated for. Do not stop taking it until you have finished the complete course, even when you feel better. You can help this medicine work better by making a few changes to your lifestyle such as keeping active, stopping smoking, eating a healthy low fat diet and exercise regularly.

Nausea, constipation, stomach pain, and headache are some common side effects of this medicine. These are usually mild but let your doctor know if they bother you or last more than a few days. Let your doctor know if you notice yellowing of skin or eyes, unusually dark urine or dark stools as it might be symptoms of liver damage. You may be asked for regular monitoring of blood sugar level, and liver function while taking this medicine.

Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver problems or high blood pressure. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it.  You should also let your healthcare team know all other medicines you are taking as they may affect, or be affected by this medicine.
