Rosuvastatin 10mg + Fenofibrate 160 mg Tablets Uses
The combination of rosuvastatin 10mg + Fenofibrate 160 mg tablet belongs to the class of medication called lipid-lowering agents or statins and fabric acid derivatives. This combination helps individuals by lowering the increased level of total cholesterol in the body. High cholesterol levels can be dangerous and can cause life-threatening cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, chest pain, etc. High levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood cause cholesterol, fat, and other lipids to accumulate on the inner walls of coronary arteries. These lipids cause the arteries to shrink and narrow, leading to poor blood flow and increased heart pressure which can be dangerous for individuals. This combination of lipid-lowering agents works together and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and lipid accumulation in the arteries. Rosuvastatin reduces the amount of LDL (bad) cholesterol and increases the amount of high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) which absorbs the bad cholesterol in the body. It also improves the ability to eliminate LDL cholesterol from the blood. On the other hand, Fenofibrate works by increasing the amount of naturally occurring enzymes that metabolize fats in the blood. Together Rosuvastatin 10mg + Fenofibrate 160 mg Tablets provide full and essential control of High cholesterol levels.
