Fibator 20 Tablet is taken orally.

Fibator 20 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (20 mg): This component works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By inhibiting this enzyme, atorvastatin effectively reduces the amount of cholesterol produced by the body. It also promotes the removal of LDL cholesterol from the blood by increasing the number of LDL receptors in liver cells.

• Fenofibrate (145 mg): As a fibrate, fenofibrate activates a receptor known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). This receptor regulates the breakdown and elimination of triglyceride-rich particles from your blood. Fenofibrate increases the activity of an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase, which breaks down triglycerides and reduces the production of a substance called apoprotein C-III, inhibiting lipoprotein lipase activity. This leads to decreased triglyceride levels and a shift in LDL particle size from small, dense, harmful particles to larger, less harmful particles.

Together, atorvastatin and fenofibrate provide a comprehensive approach to managing lipid disorders by targeting both cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

• Always store Fibator 20 Tablet at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine in a tightly closed container to protect it from moisture and light.

• Make sure it is stored out of reach of children for their safety.

• Always check the expiration date on the packaging and use the medicine before this date.

• Stick to a heart-friendly diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. This can help manage high cholesterol levels, which is what the Fibator 20 Tablet is used to control.

• Regular physical exercise is also crucial. A simple routine like brisk walking for 30 minutes daily can help lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
