How it works:
Zilance is a type of statin, which is a drug that blocks HMG-CoA reductase.
It works by stopping the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase from making cholesterol in the liver.
It lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and boosts HDL (good cholesterol) by stopping the body from making cholesterol. This helps keep plaque from building up in arteries.

A: Limit how much alcohol you drink because it can put more stress on your liver and cause more adverse effects.

A: You can see a drop in LDL cholesterol levels in 2 to 4 weeks, but it may take longer to get all the benefits.
Q3: Is it safe to take Zilance with other drugs?

Medicine interaction:
Do not take with some antibiotics, antifungals, other cholesterol-lowering drugs (fibrates), or other HIV meds since they can make muscle damage more likely.

Tell your doctor about all the prescription, over-the-counter, and dietary supplements you take.
