Introduction

If you're managing high cholesterol and seeking a modern, muscle-friendly alternative to statins, the Bempedoic Acid Tablet 180 mg may be the breakthrough you need. Available under the trusted brand name BEMPIDOC 180 from Steris Healthcare, this innovative therapy targets cholesterol at its source in the liver while avoiding common statin-associated muscle pain.

In an era where cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death globally, medications like bempedoic acid 180 mg are becoming essential tools in preventive care. Let’s dive into the full scope of this treatment — from how it works, to who it’s for, and why Steris Healthcare is your best partner in health.

 What is Bempedoic Acid?

Bempedoic acid is a non-statin oral medication approved for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), commonly referred to as bad cholesterol. It inhibits the ATP citrate lyase enzyme — upstream of where statins work — reducing cholesterol synthesis in the liver without affecting muscle tissue.

This is particularly important for patients who experience statin-induced myopathy or muscle discomfort.

 Bempedoic Acid Uses

The main uses of bempedoic acid tablets include:

• Treatment of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH)

• Management of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in adults requiring additional LDL-C lowering

• Use as a standalone agent or in combination with statins or ezetimibe when statins are not well tolerated

 Dosage & Administration

The standard dosage of bempedoic acid 180 mg is:

• One tablet daily, taken orally, with or without food

• No need to adjust dose for mild-to-moderate kidney or liver disease

• Do not crush or chew the tablet

• Always take the medicine at the same time each day for best results

Consult your physician to determine the right dosing schedule for your specific condition.

 Clinical Efficacy of Bempedoic Acid 180 mg

Studies have shown that bempedoic acid tablets can reduce LDL-C levels by approximately 17–28%, depending on whether used alone or in combination with other lipid-lowering agents.

In patients already on statins or ezetimibe, the addition of bempedoic acid 180 mg led to significant further LDL-C reduction, making it an excellent choice for difficult-to-treat cases.

 Comparison with Statins and Other Drugs

 Side Effects of Bempedoic Acid

Most patients tolerate bempedoic acid tablets well. However, some may experience:

• Hyperuricemia or gout

• Muscle spasms or back pain

• Increased liver enzyme levels

• Upper respiratory tract infections

• Constipation

• Tendon rupture (rare, but more likely in older adults or those on corticosteroids)

Report any unusual symptoms to your healthcare provider immediately.
