Frequently asked questions

What is HDL cholesterol?

HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is known as 'good cholesterol' because it transports cholesterol from the blood to the liver for removal, thereby reducing heart disease risk.

What is LDL cholesterol?

LDL, or low-density lipoprotein, is termed 'bad cholesterol' because it contributes to cholesterol buildup in the blood, leading to blockages and increasing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease.

Does Bempedoic acid cause fatigue?

Tiredness and fatigue are potential side effects of Bempedoic acid. If you experience fatigue along with chest pain or rapid heartbeat, contact your doctor immediately as these may indicate an emergency.

How can I measure my cholesterol levels?

You can schedule a lipid profile test at an accredited laboratory to check your total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and cholesterol-to-HDL ratio. Fasting for 10-12 hours before the test may be required. Consult your doctor to interpret the results.

Does Bempedoic acid impact liver function?

Bempedoic acid may affect liver function but rarely causes liver damage. It can increase liver enzyme levels, which typically resolve with continued use or after stopping the medication.

What are the consequences of high cholesterol?
