Lopid medication is effective in preventing inflammation of the pancreas, provided that it is taken alongside a strict, healthy diet. This drug works well very patients who suffer from elevated serum triglycerides levels. Serum triglycerides refer to the fatty substances in your blood, and the higher its levels, the greater your risk of developing pancreatitis. In some cases, a strict diet is enough to alleviate the symptoms. Lopid medication is introduced when the patient does not respond to this change in eating habits.
A versatile drug, Lopid medication can also be used to prevent coronary heart disease for patients who fail to lose weight despite a rigorous diet and exercise program. It may also be prescribed for people who do not respond to triglyceride-lowering or cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Is it effective?
Coupled with a healthy lifestyle, yes, Lopid medication is effective. Make no mistake, though -- Lopid medication is not a substitute, only a supplement. You will need to start and sustain a comprehensive exercise and diet program under the supervision of your doctor and/or nutritionist.
How is Lopid medication taken?
Lopid medication must be taken about 30 minutes prior to your breakfast and dinner, exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Don't worry if you miss a dose - just be sure to take a tablet the moment you remember. Store your Lopid medication at room temperature to preserve its potency.
Are there any Lopid medication side effects?
It is hard to anticipate Lopid medication side effects, as they usually develop only after some time during treatment. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, constipation, acute appendicitis, eczema, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, or indigestion. In worse cases, you may experience vomiting and nausea, skins rashes, and even vertigo. If these side effects start to become debilitating and/or intensify, call your doctor as soon as possible. Only a licensed physician should determine if you should go on taking Lopid medication.
Should I take Lopid medication?
Ask your doctor. As a general rule, you will only be advised to take it when all other measures fail. If your cholesterol levels are just mildly up, you may be referred to another drug. Allergies to drugs like Atromid-S will also keep you from safely taking Lopid medication. Never combine it with any other statins (any cholesterol-lowering drug). Keep away from Pravachol, Mevacor, Lescol, Lipitor, and Zocor.
