Himalaya Abana can generally be taken with your current medicines, but it should be used cautiously because it may mildly lower blood pressure and act similarly to your existing cardiac herbal support (Cardimap). It is better not to take Abana together with Cardimap. If you want to try Abana, it should replace Cardimap, not be added on top. It may give mild heart and lipid support, but it is not a strong substitute for your prescribed cholesterol medicines. Monitor blood pressure regularly, especially in the initial days. —rx 1) Himalaya Abana 1 tablet BD after food 2) Aimil Cardimap (continue if BP benefit noted) 1 tablet OD or alternate days after dinner 3) tab lipistat 1 tablet BD after food 4) tab glymin 1 tab after meal twice daily ----Adjunct support -Berberine 500 mg BD before lunch/dinner (continue only if tolerated; stop if no benefit) -CoQ10 100 mg OD after breakfast -Omega-3 fatty acids 1 g/day after food ------ follow up after 1 month with lipid profile, sugar and bp monitoring
Himalaya Abana is generally used as a cardiotonic / circulation-support / mild antihypertensive herbal formulation, not as a strong cholesterol-lowering medicine. For your specific case, Abana may be reasonably safe with caution, but it is unlikely to significantly reduce LDL, ApoB, or LDL-P to the degree you need. Your numbers suggest atherogenic risk still remains, so Abana should be viewed as supportive, not primary therapy. Best safest plan: Month 1 Continue all prescription meds Stop berberine Continue Cardimap alternate days Improve diet + walking Month 2 If still want herbal support: Trial Abana instead of Cardimap, not with it.
Yes Himalaya Abana is safe to take with current medications.Take it in low dose cause it affects low blood pressure. It works like heart tonic. Along with take above-mentioned medicine. Lipose plus tablets 1 tab 3 times a day after food Normact tablet 2 tab 2 times a day after food.
Himalaya Abana is generally safe to combine with your current medicines (Amlodipine, Irbesartan, Ezetimibe, Allopurinol, supplements), as it is a mild Hridya (cardiac tonic) and antioxidant. However, since you are already on BP-lowering drugs + berberine, there is a chance of additive BP-lowering effect → monitor BP regularly. 2. Effect on cholesterol & lipids Abana mainly works as: Hridya balya (heart strengthener) Mild lipid-supportive, but not strong enough alone to reduce high ApoB / LDL-P significantly 3. Effect on blood pressure Yes, it can mildly reduce BP, but not very strongly. Good as a supportive stabilizer, not a primary BP medicine. 4. Replace Cardimap or not? You can: use Abana alone for simpler regimen OR continue Cardimap if it suits you better Prefer one formulation at a time to avoid overlap. Ayurvedic Insight (important) Your profile shows: Kapha + Meda dushti (high LDL, TG, Pattern B) Ama + mild insulin resistance (HbA1c 6.0) So focus should be more on: deepan–Pachan (metabolic correction) Medohara (fat metabolism) Abana is supportive, but not the main corrective medicine. Simple Recommendation Abana: can try 1 tab twice daily after meals Monitor: BP, lipids after 6–8 weeks Also u can take 1. Tab lipistat - 1 tab twice a day after meal 2.tab cardostab - 1 tab twice a day after meal
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Given my history of documented statin‑induced myopathy (CK elevation that normalized after discontinuing the statin), I want to be cautious about any therapy that could cause muscle damage similar to statins. Could you please advise on the following: Which Ayurvedic medicines are more suitable for cholesterol reduction (especially LDL/ApoB and triglyceride‑dominant patterns) without muscle damage, in patients who are statin‑intolerant or muscle‑sensitive? For pre‑diabetes / insulin resistance (HbA1c 6.0), which Ayurvedic medicines or metabolic approaches are safest and most effective for correction? Is it appropriate to use Maharishi Cardimap on alternate days for long‑term blood pressure support, or would it be better to switch to a milder option for maintenance, considering my BP is currently controlled? I understand that Abana is supportive rather than corrective for dyslipidemia, so I would appreciate guidance on safer alternatives, especially suitable for someone with muscle sensitivity and poor response/absorption with berberine. Thank you.
Rx 1. Tab Cardostab - 1 tab twice a day after meal 2. Tab lipistat - 1 tab twice a day after meal 3. Tab Nishamlki - 2 tab twice a day after meal ( for prediabetes condition) 4. Cholestfit juice- 30 ml once a day in a glass of water after dinner Keep it continue for 3 month
Hello, with your previous history of spasms while taking lipomap I will advise against taking abana as both these preparations has common base herbal ingredients. And your symptoms and reports are pointing to atherogenic dyslipidemia, caused due to insulin resistance. The insulin resistance is what makes your fat cells less receptive to signals and causing them to release fatty acids. Addressing the glucose- insulin side of your issues is more important and more focus should be given to that stage. It is important to adress the core reason of your symptoms instead of trying to pole on lipid medications with less results. I will advise you to take nisa katakadi kashaya 15 ml twice daily before food mixed with 60 ml luke warm water twice daily before food with atleast 2 hours gap between allopathic and ayurvedic medications. This traditional formulation will improve insulin resistance and support pancreatic function, it will also help regulate the liver from producing more atherogenic particles. And also this is much gentler than lipomap or abana so the probability of causing any adverse drug reaction is negligible. Also you should continue all the medications you are currently taking. Also I hope you do moniter your bp every day. Follow a fibre rich, mostly whole foods diet with low glycemic index. Opt for either the kashaya or the kashayam tablet. If tablet is preferred the dosage is 2 tabs twice daily b/f. The gap of 2 hours remains the same. We can revisit and discuss further ayurvedic support after atleast 1 month of regular medication use.
its not safe for u so dont take only do nasya with cow ghee 2 drop each nostril 2 times day at 6 pm and 6 am
Using Himalaya Abana alongside your current regimen requires careful consideration, particularly because you are already taking multiple medications and herbal agents that target the same physiological pathways (blood pressure and lipids). Below is a breakdown of the safety and efficacy concerns based on your current health profile. 1. Safety and Potential Interactions:- While Abana is generally well-tolerated, it contains ingredients like Arjuna and Guggul, which can interact with your existing medications: • Blood Pressure Potentiation: You are already on Amlodipine, Irbesartan, and Maharishi Cardimap. Abana has mild antihypertensive properties. Combining all four may cause your blood pressure to drop too low (hypotension), leading to dizziness or fatigue. • The “Guggul” Factor: Abana contains Guggul. You mentioned that Maharishi Lipomap (which is also Guggul-based) caused muscle spasms similar to statins. Since Guggul can occasionally cause muscle aches or GI distress in sensitive individuals, there is a risk that Abana might trigger the same “statin-like” intolerance you experienced previously. • Liver Metabolism: Herbs in Abana can influence cytochrome P450 enzymes, which may slightly alter how your body processes Ezetimibe or Amlodipine. 2. Effects on Blood Pressure Abana is primarily a cardioprotective and anti-dyslipidemic supplement rather than a primary antihypertensive. • Mild Reduction: It does lower blood pressure, but usually not “significantly” enough to replace pharmaceutical grade medication. • Mechanism: It works by reducing sensitivity to catecholamines (stress hormones) and improving the heart’s pumping efficiency. • Caution: Because you are already using Cardimap (which contains Sarpagandha—a potent blood pressure reducer), adding Abana could have an additive effect. Replacement: Abana is not a direct replacement for Cardimap. Cardimap is much stronger for BP control. • Combination: Taking both simultaneously is generally not recommended without strict medical supervision, as the risk of bradycardia (low heart rate) or hypotension increases. Recommendations:- • The Spasm Risk: Given your history with Lipomap and Statins, introduce Abana with caution. If muscle spasms return, Guggul-based products may simply not be compatible with your biology. • Monitor Glucose: Since your HbA1c is 6.0% and Berberine hasn’t moved the needle, ensure any new supplement doesn’t mask symptoms of fluctuating blood sugar. “The Plan:” 1. Do not replace your Irbesartan or Amlodipine with Abana. 2. Consult your cardiologist before adding Abana. They may suggest stopping the alternate-day Cardimap before starting Abana to see how your BP reacts. 3. If you proceed, monitor your blood pressure daily for the first two weeks to ensure it stays within your target range.
you’re dealing with a mixed metabolic + lipid pattern (high ApoB, triglycerides, insulin resistance), so we need to be careful especially since you already had muscle intolerance with strong Ayurvedic lipid formulas (like Lipomap). I’ll give you a clear, practical answer. about Himalaya Abana abana = mild cardiac tonic, not a strong cholesterol-lowering drug. Main actions: Mild bp lowering Improves cardiac function & circulation Mild antioxidant + lipid support Important: It is much weaker than statins or even ezetimibe, and weaker than Lipomap. Safety with your current medicines Your current stack Amlodipine Irbesartan Ezetimibe Allopurinol Berberine Cardimap (alternate days) Supplements Generally safe, but with cautions: No direct interaction with ezetimibe or allopurinol May add BP-lowering effect with: Amlodipine Irbesartan Cardimap So risk = low bp (dizziness, fatigue) Watch for Lightheadedness Weakness BP < 100/60 3. Does Abana lower blood pressure significantly? Short answer: no (not strongly). Mild reduction (~5–10 mmHg possible) Works slowly Not a replacement for your BP medicines In your case It may enhance control, not replace therapy Abana vs Cardimap what to do? You asked a key question. Don’t combine long-term: Both act on heart + Bp Combining = unnecessary overlap Better approach Option 1 (preferred) Stop Cardimap Start Abana alone Option 2 Continue Cardimap Skip Abana No major benefit using both together. Will Abana help ur lipid profile? Looking at your labs: High ApoB High LDL-P High tg Low hdl This is atherogenic + insulin resistance pattern Reality: Abana wil not significantly reduce: ApoB ldl-P Small dense ldl So don’t expect major lipid improvement. 6. Why berberine didn’t work much This is common when: Dose is low Insulin resistance is moderate Genetic lipid pattern present Your case likely needs: Stronger metabolic correction Not just mild herbal support 7. Better Ayurvedic strategy (targeted for YOU) Meda dhatu (lipid metabolism) Agnimandya (low metabolic fire) Kapha + Vata imbalance 8. Recommended Ayurvedic treatment (practical plan) 1For lipids & metabolism Arogyavardhini Vati 1 tablet twice daily after meals Triphala Guggulu 2 tablets twice daily after meals Helps Lipids Liver metabolism Triglycerides For insulin resistance + tg Continue Berberine, but Increase to 500 mg twice daily before meals 3. For heart support (choose one only) Either Himalaya Abana → 2 tablets twice daily OR Continue Cardimap (not both) 4 For HDL improvement Arjuna powder 3 g with warm water at night 5. For digestion (very importnt in your case) Jeera + Ajwain + Saunf tea After meals 9. Diet Your pattern = carb-sensitive Avoid Sugar, sweets refined carbs (white rice excess, maida) fried foods add: warm, light meals millets / low gi grains ghee (small amount improves hdl) garlic + turmeric
Cardimap and Abana have almost same effect on hear and on blood pressure, it is better you take one of the two, as taking both can create health issues. To improve cholesterol and and blood sugar levels you can add Glymin tablet 2-0-2 after food with water will help reduce blood sugar levels, but please keep regular checkup to check FBS, PPBS HBA1C so dose can be adjusted as required. Liposem tablet 1-0-1 after food with water help reduce cholesterol levels. Heposem tablet 1-0-1 after food with water helps to regulate sugar and also cholesterol by improving the functions of the liver. Include fresh green vegetables semi cooked or sauted in your diet daily.
