Uses of Consivas Asp (10/75 mg) Capsule
What is it prescribed for?
Hyperlipidaemia
Hyperlipidaemia refers to a high level of bad cholesterol and triglycerides (type of fats) in your blood. It may increase the risk of heart problems like atherosclerotic arterial disease (a condition that occurs due to the buildup of fats, cholesterol, and other substances in the walls of your blood vessels). Hence, Consivas Asp (10/75 mg) Capsule is used in the treatment of hyperlipidaemia associated with atherosclerotic arterial disease. It further prevents the risk of heart attack and stroke (a condition that causes reduced oxygen supply to the brain).
When not to use?
Allergy
Avoid taking Consivas Asp (10/75 mg) Capsule if you are allergic to it. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms such as skin rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, breathing difficulty, etc.
Bleeding disorder
Consivas Asp (10/75 mg) Capsule is not recommended for use if you have active bleeding or haemorrhagic disorders such as haemophilia (a condition where your blood does not clot normally), von Willebrand’s disease (a bleeding disorder caused by low levels of clot protein in your blood), or telangiectasia (a condition where small blood vessels located near the skin surface widen). This medicine prevents blood clot formation by permanently reducing platelet (cells that form clots) aggregation and thus increasing your bleeding time.
Severe kidney impairment
Consivas Asp (10/75 mg) Capsule is not recommended for use if you have severely impaired kidneys as a damaged kidney will not filter the medicine completely out of your body, leading to toxicity.
Peptic ulcer
Consivas Asp (10/75 mg) Capsule is not recommended for use if you have an active or a history of peptic ulcers (sores in the lining of your stomach and intestine due to excess acid production). This medicine may further cause stomach and intestinal bleeding and worsen your health condition.
Active liver disease
Consivas Asp (10/75 mg) Capsule is broken down in your liver. Hence, this medicine is not recommended if you have pre-existing liver problems as it may lead to the accumulation of this medicine in your blood and increase the risk of side effects. It may also cause further liver damage.
