Atorvastatin + Fenofibrate Tablets

Atorvastatin + Fenofibrate Tablets

Atorvastatin+Fenofibrate Tablet is a mixture of two lipid-lowering drugs. It is used to lower the levels of lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood when diet alone has not been sufficient (for example, in patients who are unable to cut back on dietary fats). This drug helps to decrease the risk of heart disease.

Atorvastatin+Fenofibrate Tablet can be taken with or without food. It can be taken at any time of the day but preferably at the same time every day so that it is not forgotten. The appropriate dose will be prescribed by your doctor according to your lipid levels and how you respond to this medicine.  Most people with high cholesterol and triglyceride never feel sick but stopping your medication may raise lipid levels making a condition worse plus increasing your danger of heart and stroke disease.
