Belopid Tablet 180 mg contains Bempedoic Acid, a lipid-lowering medicine used to reduce elevated cholesterol levels, particularly low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), commonly known as “bad cholesterol.” It is prescribed for adults with hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia, or patients at risk of cardiovascular diseases who require additional cholesterol reduction despite diet, exercise, or other lipid-lowering therapies.

Bempedoic Acid is especially useful for patients who cannot tolerate high doses of statins or who need further LDL cholesterol lowering along with statin treatment. By helping control cholesterol levels, Belopid Tablet contributes to reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

This medicine should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes a healthy diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and lifestyle modifications.

Composition

• Generic Name: Bempedoic Acid
• Strength: 180 mg
• Dosage Form: Tablet

How Belopid Tablet Works

Bempedoic Acid works by inhibiting adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACL), an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, the medicine reduces cholesterol production, leading to decreased LDL cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.

Unlike statins, Bempedoic Acid is activated mainly in the liver and has limited activity in skeletal muscles, which may help reduce the risk of muscle-related side effects associated with some cholesterol-lowering medicines.
