Composition

Bempedoic Acid (180 Mg)

Brillo Tablet is primarily used to manage high cholesterol levels. This medicine is classified under a group of medications known as adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACL) inhibitors.

In addition to its main use, this medicine can help decrease the level of harmful fatty substances such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol in your body. By reducing LDL-C levels, this medicine aids in minimising the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes in patients with an established cardiovascular disease.

It's crucial to take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Before starting this medicine, let your doctor know about any pre-existing diseases or ongoing medications you might have. If you experience any side effects while on this medicine, inform your doctor promptly. Make sure to continue taking Brillo for the duration prescribed by your doctor to achieve optimum results.

Brillo Tablet is used for the following purposes:

Lowering of LDL-C or 'bad' cholesterol levels
Management of primary hypercholesterolemia, a condition of high cholesterol
Management of mixed dyslipidemia, a disorder involving abnormal levels of blood lipids
Lowering the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes in patients with established heart disease
Prevention of serious heart problems in patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease

Follow these instructions while taking Brillo Tablet:

Swallow the medicine whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush, chew or break the tablet.
It can be taken with or without food.
Try to take Brillo Tablet at roughly the same time each day to get the best results.
If you have any doubts or concerns, consult your doctor.

Brillo Tablet is taken orally.

Taking Brillo Tablet might lead to the following side effects:

Upper respiratory tract infections
Muscle spasms
Back pain
Pain in the shoulders, legs, or arms
Stomach pain
Anaemia

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve by discontinuing the use of Brillo Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Stomach pain: Try taking Brillo Tablet with food or milk.
Muscle spasms: If these occur after taking the medicine during the day, consider shifting your dosage to nighttime.

Brillo Tablet consists of bempedoic acid (180 mg), which has the following actions on your body:

Inhibits ACL Enzyme: Bempedoic acid operates by blocking an enzyme known as adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACL) in your liver. This enzyme plays a crucial role in forming cholesterol in your body.
Decreases Blood Cholesterol: By inhibiting the activity of ACL, bempedoic acid effectively lowers blood cholesterol levels.
Boosts LDL-C Uptake: The reduced cholesterol production causes liver cells to increase their uptake of LDL-C from your bloodstream, contributing further to the lowering of blood cholesterol levels. This results in a more efficient clearance of bad cholesterol.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Brillo Tablet if you are pregnant. It's best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

As we don't know whether bempedoic acid is secreted in human milk, it's wise to consult your doctor if you're breastfeeding before starting on Brillo Tablet.
