How Atorvastatin + Fenofibrate works

  • Atorvastatin is a statin that lowers cholesterol by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is involved in the production of cholesterol in the liver. This results in reduced levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) and overall cholesterol in the blood.
  • Fenofibrate is a fibrate that works by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), which help to lower triglyceride levels and increase HDL (good cholesterol). It also improves the breakdown of fats in the bloodstream.
