Crenzlo Injection 1.5 ml

Crenzlo Injection 1.5 ml is used to help manage high cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk. The detailed uses of Crenzlo Injection 1.5 ml are as follows:

• High Cholesterol (Primary Hyperlipidemia): Helps lower bad cholesterol levels in the blood when diet changes and other oral medicines are not sufficient to reach target levels.
• Heart Disease (Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease): Helps reduce cholesterol in adults who have a history of heart attacks, strokes, or blocked arteries to help prevent further cardiovascular complications.
• Inherited High Cholesterol (Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia): Works to lower extremely high cholesterol levels caused by genetic conditions passed down through families. (Note: Efficacy and safety have not been established in patients with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia, a rarer and more severe genetic condition).

Crenzlo Injection 1.5 ml provides important benefits by helping manage cholesterol levels and support long-term cardiovascular health. The key benefits of Crenzlo Injection 1.5 ml are as follows:

• Long-Term Cholesterol Control: Crenzlo Injection 1.5 ml provides continuous, long-term control of your bad cholesterol levels, helping to keep your blood vessels clear and reducing the build-up of fatty deposits in your arteries.
• Convenient Dosing: Because this medicine is injected only a few times a year by a healthcare professional, it provides great convenience and removes the daily worry of remembering to take another cholesterol pill.
• Additional Cardiovascular Support: It works effectively in combination with your current cholesterol-lowering therapies, giving you an extra layer of protection to help manage your long-term cardiovascular risks.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Crenzlo Injection 1.5 ml is administered by the doctor or nurse in a healthcare setting.
• Do not self-administer.

• Eat a heart-healthy diet: Focus on foods low in saturated fats and cholesterol, such as whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and soluble fibre to help support your treatment.
• Stay physically active: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, like brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, every week to strengthen your cardiovascular system.
• Avoid smoking: Quitting smoking helps improve your 'good' cholesterol (HDL) levels and significantly lowers your overall risk of heart attacks and strokes.
• Limit alcohol intake: Keep your alcohol consumption within recommended limits, as excessive drinking can raise your cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

• Inspect the Injection: Always make sure your healthcare provider visually inspects the injection syringe before use; the liquid should be clear and colourless to pale yellow, without any visible floating particles.
• Rotate Injection Sites: Ensure your healthcare provider rotates the injection site with each visit (for example, switching from the abdomen to the thigh) to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
• Choose the Injection Site Carefully: Do not receive the injection in skin areas that are actively sunburned, injured, infected, or showing signs of skin disease.
• Keep Appointment Reminders: Set calendar reminders for your injection appointments, as keeping a consistent schedule is crucial for maintaining stable cholesterol control.
• Monitor Lipid Levels: Expect your healthcare provider to order regular blood tests (lipid panels) to track your LDL cholesterol levels and evaluate how effectively the medicine is working.
• Inform Healthcare Providers: Inform any new healthcare provider, dentist, or specialist you visit that you are currently receiving Crenzlo Injection 1.5 ml injections.
