Use:

Bempedoic Acid is a prescription medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood.

  • Do not crush, chew, or split the tablets.

Cautions:

  • Inform your healthcare provider of any allergies or medical conditions, especially liver or kidney disease.

  • Bempedoic Acid can increase the risk of tendon rupture, especially in patients over 60, those taking corticosteroids, or those with a history of tendon disorders.

  • Avoid consuming large amounts of alcohol while taking Bempedoic Acid, as it can increase the risk of liver problems.
