CompositionAtocor F Tablet is a combination used to manage high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It combines atorvastatin (statin) and fenofibrate (fibrate). This medicine helps lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising "good" HDL cholesterol. This action effectively mitigates the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart-related complications.
Atocor F Tablet is used for managing high levels of LDL "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides and addressing insufficient levels of HDL "good" cholesterol. It is prescribed for the prevention of heart attack and stroke in people with type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, or other risk factors. It also helps in the reduction of risk associated with atherosclerosis, management of pancreatitis caused by high triglyceride levels, and prevention of plaque buildup in arteries.

Atocor F Tablet contains two active ingredients:
Atorvastatin (10 mg): This component works by inhibiting an enzyme in your liver called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme is crucial for producing cholesterol. By blocking this enzyme, atorvastatin reduces the amount of cholesterol that your liver can make and also increases the liver's capacity to remove LDL cholesterol from your blood.
Fenofibrate (160 mg): This ingredient activates an enzyme known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα). This activation leads to an increased breakdown of triglyceride-rich particles and a decrease in certain proteins that regulate lipid production. The overall effect is a decrease in levels of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, coupled with an increase in HDL cholesterol levels in your blood.
This dual action aids in effectively managing total cholesterol levels, reducing LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels whilst increasing HDL cholesterol levels in your blood.
