BEAT High Cholesterol as Pharex launched new 15-day Compliance Pouch this 2016
After the
Christmas activities just last year, it is without doubt that incidence of high
cholesterol was prevalent among many people. In recent study, result shows
that one in every three Filipinos have high cholesterol levels. Most
of them are manageable so how can one control its onset and at the same time
maintain one's lifestyle?
A study on
cholesterol levels among Filipinos led by the Food and Nutrition Research
Institute revealed that 31.4 percent of Filipino adults 20 years old and over
had “borderline high to high cholesterol levels.” Now that the New Year is
here, it is often challenging to control huge consumption of food—particularly
those that are rich in cholesterol—knowing that annual festivities and birthday
celebrations are here left and right.
Cholesterol is a
waxy substance found in fats in the blood. Though cholesterol is needed by the
body because it is essential to building healthy cells, too much of it could
increase a person’s chance of having cardiovascular disease.
“Some people make
it a point to reduce their consumption of cholesterol-rich foods especially now
that another year has been capped off,” said Tomas Luke Marcelo Agana III,
president and CEO of Pharex HealthCorp. “But enjoying what the New Year brings
need not come at the expense of sacrificing your year-long joy and family
bondings especially when stories are better shared on the table.”
Bearing that in
mind, Pharex HealthCorp.—the most prescribed generic brand of
medicines—introduces its 15-day Pharex Compliance Pouch for Cholesterol to help
Filipino adults who are prone to high cholesterol adhere to their medication
without compromising their plans this 2016.
With the new
Pharex Compliance Pouch for Cholesterol, Filipinos may prevent the rise of
their cholesterol levels by adhering to therapy without sacrificing their
budget. This means that Filipinos with high cholesterol may get the same
effective, quality maintenance medicines good for 15 days that’s 50 percent
more affordable when compared to an imported brand.
“Ideally, the new
Compliance Pouch is made for patients who are currently taking maintenance
medicines to keep their cholesterol at its normal and desirable levels,” Agana
said. “Now, Filipino patients may conveniently take their prescribed medication
wherever they go in anytime of the day.”
The new Pharex
Compliance Pouch for Cholesterol is indicated for patients who have elevated
bad cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL). This type of
cholesterol builds up in the walls of the arteries, causing them to harden or
become narrower. When left untreated, this may lead to heart attack.
“High cholesterol
can be inheritable, but it often comes as a result of an unhealthy
lifestyle,” Agana said. “While it is important to religiously take your medication
as prescribed by your doctor, it is also imperative to watch what you eat and
visit your doctor regularly.”
Pharex Compliance
Pouch for Cholesterol is so much more convenient. It comes in a
resealable, water-resistant foil pouch that keeps its contents clean and
dry. And it is easy to carry so patients will never miss their regular
dose.
He concluded,
“Pharex makes quality healthcare more affordable and accessible to Filipinos.
As the New Year starts, make sure that you carry the Pouch with you to prevent
the life-threatening consequences of high cholesterol.”
