Bempedoic Acid (180 Mg)

Bempesta Tablet is primarily used to reduce cholesterol levels in patients, thereby diminishing the risk of heart disease. This medicine is part of a group known as cholesterol-lowering medicines.

In addition to its primary use, Bempesta is also used to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) and coronary revascularization in adults who cannot take the recommended statin therapy. It may be used either alone or in conjunction with diet and other LDL-lowering therapies.

Before you start taking this medicine, it's essential to consult your doctor, who will provide the appropriate dosage and frequency. Always inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions or ongoing medications. Continue taking the medicine regularly for the duration prescribed by your doctor and promptly report any side effects.
