Introduction
Bemdiff 180mg Tablet is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can build up in your blood vessels, causing them to narrow and potentially leading to a heart attack or stroke.

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding dosage and duration of treatment. Regular monitoring of liver function may be necessary. Consult your doctor for more information.

How it works
Bemdiff 180mg Tablet works by blocking an enzyme (enzyme adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase) that is required to make 'bad' cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) in the liver, which results in lower levels of 'bad' cholesterol.

You can book a lipid profile test with any accredited laboratory. This test helps monitor your total cholesterol, LDL levels, HDL levels, triglycerides, and the ratio between cholesterol and HDL. You may need to fast for 10-12 hours before giving your blood sample for this test. After receiving your test report, consult a doctor to help you evaluate the test results.
