Atorvastatin 5mg + Fenofibrate 160mg

Description

Atorvastatin 5mg + Fenofibrate 160mg tablets are medications that lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. They help prevent heart diseases and blocked blood vessels. Hyperlipidemia or hypertriglyceridemia is when you have too much bad cholesterol and not enough good cholesterol in your blood. High levels of bad cholesterol can make it more likely for someone to have a heart attack or stroke, especially if they already have heart problems.

These tablets are a combination of two drugs, Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate. Atorvastatin lowers cholesterol, while Fenofibrate helps to lower triglycerides. Atorvastatin is a medicine that lowers cholesterol by stopping an enzyme in the body from making it. This helps to reduce the “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides and increase the “good” cholesterol. Fenofibrate is a medicine that helps lower fats in the blood. It does this by increasing a natural substance that breaks down fats in the blood, making it easier for the body to get rid of them. This helps to lower the bad cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing the good cholesterol.
