How Atosta-10 mg Tablet works

Atosta F 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.
