I
Hi, I am 36 yr male . My HDL is low and LDL are on a higher side.Doctor prescribed me to take Rozavel F for three months one tab a day.my only worries is do i have to continue the tablet my life time or can i stop once my hdl level shoots up.I have started walking daily for an hour.Is there any side effects.My weight is 67 and height is 5.5.
Low HDL and high LDL are risk factors for heart attack. Hence it is better to continue Rozavel F for life long. Rozavel F not only increases HDL and lowers LDL, it also reduces the incidence of heart attack even in people with normal cholesterol level. Though Rozavel F is a safe drug, sometimes it can give rise to severe muscle damage and rarely can produce death. However if you are having other risk factors for heart diseases such as diabetes, hypertension,smoking and cholesterol tends to run in families,considering the benefit and risk ratio, you have to continue Rozavel F,even if you are walking daily for one hour.
