Description

Atorvafine-TG is a dual-action therapy designed for patients with mixed dyslipidemia (high LDL cholesterol and triglycerides).

Atorvastatin reduces “bad” LDL cholesterol and increases “good” HDL cholesterol.
Fenofibrate primarily lowers triglyceride levels and improves lipid metabolism.

Together, they provide comprehensive lipid control, making this combination especially beneficial for individuals at risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke.

This medication is typically prescribed alongside lifestyle modifications like diet, exercise, and weight management.

Headache
Stomach discomfort
Muscle pain

 

Serious side effects:

Severe muscle breakdown (rare)
Liver enzyme elevation
Allergic reactions

⚠️ Contact your doctor if you experience persistent muscle pain or weakness.

 

Mechanism of Action
Atorvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, reducing cholesterol production in the liver.
Fenofibrate activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), enhancing lipid metabolism and reducing triglyceride levels.

This combined mechanism ensures improved lipid balance and cardiovascular protection.
