Why is Lopid prescribed?
Doctors prescribe Lopid for the treatment of people who have very high levels of serum triglycerides, people that are at risk of developing pancreatitis and who do not respond adequately to a strict diet. Lopid can also be used to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in people who have failed to respond to weight loss, diet, exercise, and other triglyceride- or cholesterol-lowering drugs.
If diet, exercise, and weight-loss fail to bring your cholesterol levels under control, then doctors must prescribe Lopid.This medication is a supplement not a substitute for these other measures. To obtain the full benefit of Lopid, you need to stick to the diet and exercise program prescribed by your doctor.
How do I use Lopid?
You should take Lopid 30 minutes before the morning and evening meal, exactly as prescribed. If you forget a dose of Lopid take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time.
What are the potential side effects from Lopid?
Check with your doctor if it is safe for you to continue taking Lopid.
More frequent side effects from Lopid may include: Diarrhea, eczema, fatigue, headache, indigestion, nausea/vomiting, rash, vertigo, abdominal pain, acute appendicitis and constipation.
Less common or rare side effects from Lopid may include: convulsions, decreased male fertility, decreased sex drive, depression, dizziness, fainting, hives, impotence, tingling sensation, weight loss, anemia, blood disorders, blurred vision, confusion, yellow eyes and skin.
What should I discuss with my doctor before taking Lopid?
If you have any of the following conditions, consult your doctor first: If you have only mildly elevated cholesterol levels, since the benefits do not outweigh the risk of these severe side effects. If you are sensitive to, or have ever had an allergic reaction to, Lopid or similar drugs such as Atromid-S. If you are being treated for severe kidney or liver disorders or gallbladder disease.
If you are planing to combine Lopid with any of the cholesterol-lowering drugs known as "statins," including Lescol, Lipitor, Mevacor, Pravachol, and Zocor. This combination increases the danger of serious, muscle-wasting side effects.
If you are being treated for any disease that contributes to increased blood cholesterol, such as an overactive thyroid, diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, dysproteinemia, or obstructive liver disease, consult with your doctor before taking Lopid. If you have muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, consult with your doctor. If myositis is suspected, your doctor will stop treating you with this medicine.
