Atorfen 10 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (10 mg): It blocks an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase that the body uses to produce cholesterol. By reducing cholesterol production in the liver, atorvastatin effectively manages total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels in the blood. It also aids the liver in breaking down and removing LDL already present in the blood.

• Fenofibrate (160 mg): This ingredient activates a receptor known as PPARα, leading to an increased breakdown of triglycerides and an increase in HDL ("good") cholesterol production. This enhanced breakdown of triglycerides results in decreased blood triglyceride levels. Fenofibrate also causes LDL particles to shift from small, dense (more harmful) types to large, buoyant (less harmful) types.
