GenLabs Bempesta (Bempedoic Acid) 180mg

GenLabs Bempesta 180mg contains Bempedoic Acid, a prescription cholesterol-lowering medication used to help reduce elevated LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) in adults.

Bempedoic acid provides a non-statin approach to lowering LDL cholesterol and may be prescribed alone or alongside other lipid-lowering therapies, depending on the patient’s cardiovascular risk and treatment goals. Treatment is generally combined with an appropriate diet, physical activity, and other recommended lifestyle measures.

HOW DOES BEMPEDOIC ACID WORK?

Bempedoic acid works by inhibiting ATP citrate lyase (ACL), an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver.

By reducing cholesterol synthesis, it causes the liver to increase the removal of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream. This helps lower circulating LDL levels and supports cardiovascular risk management.

DOSAGE

The usual recommended adult dose of Bempedoic Acid is 180mg taken orally once daily, with or without food.

The tablet should be taken according to the instructions provided by a healthcare professional. Do not change or discontinue treatment without medical guidance.

Cholesterol levels may be checked periodically to determine how effectively the medication is working.
