High cholesterol means having too much of certain fats, like low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad" cholesterol), in your blood, which can narrow and clog arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

1. Understanding High Cholesterol

   • It occurs when excess cholesterol builds up in blood vessels, forming plaque that narrows arteries.
   • This buildup can block blood flow to the heart or brain, causing serious events like heart attacks or strokes.
   • High cholesterol often has no symptoms and is detected through blood tests.

2. About Glihypo Plus 10 Tablet (Rosuvastatin 10mg)

   • This medication is a statin that lowers bad cholesterol and triglycerides by reducing cholesterol production in the liver.
   • It helps prevent heart attacks and strokes by improving cholesterol balance and slowing artery plaque buildup.
   • It is taken orally, with or without food, and is part of a broader treatment including diet and exercise.

3. Relationship Between Glihypo Plus and Joint Pain

   • Glihypo Plus does not treat joint pain directly.
   • However, statins like Rosuvastatin can sometimes cause muscle or joint pain as a side effect (myalgia).
   • If you experience persistent or severe muscle or joint pain while on this medication, inform your doctor promptly.

4. Managing Severe Joint Pain Alongside High Cholesterol

   • Severe joint pain should be evaluated by a specialist such as a rheumatologist or orthopedist to identify the cause and appropriate treatment.
   • Managing cholesterol with Glihypo Plus should continue under medical supervision, especially if muscle symptoms occur.
   • Lifestyle changes, pain management, and possibly other medications may be needed for joint pain.

5. Importance of Medical Consultation

   • It is important to discuss both your high cholesterol and severe joint pain with your doctor to tailor treatment safely.
   • Regular monitoring of your lipid profile and symptoms is essential while on Glihypo Plus.
   • Do not stop or change medication without consulting your doctor.
