Lipicut-10 Tablet

Lipicut 10 is a medication classified under the cardiovascular therapeutic class. Each tablet of Lipicut 10 contains Atorvastatin Calcium INN, equivalent to 10 mg of Atorvastatin. Atorvastatin belongs to a group of drugs known as statins, which are used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It functions by inhibiting an enzyme necessary for the production of cholesterol in the liver, thereby reducing the total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides in the blood while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

Lipicut 10 is primarily indicated for the management of high cholesterol and associated conditions. It is used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes, particularly in individuals with risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, or a history of coronary heart disease. Atorvastatin is also indicated for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients deemed to be at high risk. Additionally, it can be prescribed for the treatment of hyperlipidemia, which includes conditions like familial hypercholesterolemia.

The standard dosage of Lipicut 10 involves the administration of one 10 mg tablet once daily. The dosage may vary based on the individual patient's response and clinical condition. Lipicut 10 can be taken with or without food, and at any time of the day, though it is often recommended to take it at the same time each day for consistency. It is important for patients to continue their cholesterol-lowering diet while on this medication. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on liver function tests and lipid levels, and should be made under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Patients should also be aware of potential interactions with other medications and discuss their complete medication list with their physician.
