Heart Health

Lipicard works by increasing certain natural substances that break down fats in the blood and speed up the natural processes that remove cholesterol from the body. The medication should be used along with a proper exercise program, a balanced diet and other lifestyle changes to help increase the amount of “good” cholesterol or high density lipoprotein (HDL) and lower “bad” cholesterol or low density lipoprotein (LDL) in the blood. Monitoring cholesterol levels can help decrease the risk of heart attacks, strokes, angina (chest pain), heart disease and atherosclerosis (clogged arteries).

Lipex works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block flow to the heart, brain and other parts of the body. It can be used alone or along with other medications to lower “bad” cholesterol (low density lipoprotein, LDL) and triglycerides while at the same time increase the amount of “good” cholesterol (high density lipoprotein, HDL) in the blood.

Lasilactone contains the active ingredients frusemide, a loop diuretic and spironolactone, a potassium sparing diuretic type of medication. The combination medication works by reducing extra fluid and salt in the body and allowing it to be passed into urine. Stopping the buildup of extra water in the body can help prevent swollen ankles, shortness of breath and feeling more tired than usual. Decreasing the amount of excess fluid can also help treat congestive heart failure and lower blood pressure in the body. Regulating blood pressure levels can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Lanoxin is prescribed to patients suffering from congestive heart failure or an irregular heartbeat. It is a cardiac glycoside which operates by changing the mineral levels in the heart. This action produces a steady and regular heart rate, reducing the strain on the heart and helping to circulate the blood more efficiently.
