Razel-F10 Tablet comprises two active ingredients:

• Fenofibrate (67 mg): This component activates a nuclear receptor known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). PPARα modulates genes regulating lipid metabolism, hence leading to an increase in HDL-cholesterol synthesis and promoting clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from the blood plasma. It also reduces the production of apolipoprotein C-III, a substance that inhibits the activity of lipoprotein lipase.

• Rosuvastatin (10 mg): This ingredient works by competitively inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme critical for cholesterol biosynthesis. By inhibiting this enzyme, rosuvastatin promotes uptake and catabolism of LDL from the circulation by increasing the expression of LDL receptors on hepatocytes. It also inhibits hepatic synthesis of VLDL, the precursor of LDL. Overall, rosuvastatin significantly reduces total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides levels.

• Keep Razel-F10 Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.

• Protect this medicine from light, heat, and moisture to ensure its effectiveness.

• Always keep Razel-F10 Tablet out of the reach of children.

• To manage the conditions treated by Razel-F10 Tablet, try to maintain a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. This can help control your blood lipid levels.

• Regular physical activity is also important. Try to include moderate intensity exercises like brisk walking or cycling in your daily routine. This can help increase your HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and decrease your LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides levels.
