How Atorfen 10 mg Tablet works

atorFEN 5mg/160mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: atorvastatin and fenofibrate. Atorvastatin reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver by inhibiting an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis, which lowers LDL (“bad” cholesterol). Fenofibrate activates receptors that increase the breakdown and removal of triglycerides and other fats from the blood while helping raise HDL (“good” cholesterol). This combined action improves the overall lipid profile by lowering cholesterol and triglycerides simultaneously.
