Daily FR 160mg/5mg Tablet is a medication that combines two lipid-lowering drugs to help reduce the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It is used when lifestyle changes alone, such as a low-fat diet, have not successfully lowered these lipid levels. By reducing cholesterol and triglycerides, this medicine plays a crucial role in decreasing the risk of heart disease.

This tablet can be taken with or without food, at any time of the day, although it is recommended to take it at the same time each day to help you remember. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your specific lipid levels and response to the medication. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed, as stopping it abruptly can lead to an increase in lipid levels, worsening your condition and raising the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Regular monitoring of your cholesterol and triglyceride levels is essential while taking this medication. Daily FR 160mg/5mg Tablet is just one component of a comprehensive treatment plan that should also include a healthy low-fat diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and weight management. While you can maintain a normal diet while on this medication, it is advisable to avoid high-fat foods.

Common side effects of this medication may include nausea, stomach pain, constipation, headache, flatulence, and muscle pain. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or if you experience any concerning symptoms such as yellowing of the eyes, unusual bleeding, or severe muscle pains, consult your doctor promptly. Periodic liver function tests may be recommended during treatment with this medication.

Certain conditions, such as liver disease, may prevent the use of this medication. Inform your doctor about any kidney-related problems or if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding before starting this medication. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar levels closely, as this medication can potentially increase blood sugar levels.
